Abstract

We show that for any nonzero class $A$ in $H_{2} (X; ℤ_{2})$ in a rational $4 -$ manifold $X$ , $A$ is represented by a nonorientable embedded Lagrangian surface $L$ (for some symplectic structure) if and only if $P (A) \equiv χ (L) (mod 4)$ , where $P (A)$ denotes the mod $4$ valued Pontryagin square of $A$ .
