Singular maps on exotic $4$–manifold pairs

Boldizsár Kalmár and András I Stipsicz

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 13 (2013) 1709–1731
Abstract

We show examples of pairs of smooth, compact, homeomorphic 4–manifolds, whose diffeomorphism types are distinguished by the topology of the singular sets of smooth stable maps defined on them. In this distinction we rely on results from Seiberg–Witten theory.

Keywords
$4$–manifold, smooth structure, stable map, genus function, Seiberg–Witten invariant
