Small exotic 4–manifolds

Anar Akhmedov

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 8 (2008) 1781–1794
Abstract

In this article, we construct the first example of a simply-connected minimal symplectic 4–manifold that is homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to 32#7¯2. We also construct the first exotic minimal symplectic 2#5¯2.

Keywords
4–manifolds, exotic smooth structures, symplectic 4–manifolds, fiber sum, Seiberg–Witten invariants
