Nondiffeomorphic symplectic 4–manifolds with the same Seiberg–Witten invariants

Ronald Fintushel and Ronald J Stern

Geometry & Topology Monographs 2 (1999) 103–111

DOI: 10.2140/gtm.1999.2.103

arXiv: math.SG/9811019

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that, at least for nonsimply connected 4–manifolds, the Seiberg–Witten invariant alone does not determine diffeomorphism type within the same homeomorphism type.

Keywords

Seiberg–Witten invariants, 4–manifold, symplectic 4–manifold
