Exotic diffeomorphisms on closed aspherical -manifolds

Hokuto Konno, Jianfeng Lin, Anubhav Mukherjee +1

We study a class of diffeomorphisms of closed manifolds obtained from Davis' reflection trick construction, which are obtained by reflecting a diffeomorphism supported in the funda…

Diffeomorphism groups and gauge theory for families

Hokuto Konno

This article provides a survey of gauge theory for families, with a particular focus on its applications to diffeomorphism groups of -manifolds that were developed during the pe…

Gauge theory for families

Hokuto Konno

This article surveys gauge theory for families and its applications to the comparison between the diffeomorphism group and the homeomorphism group of -manifolds, up to 2021.

Constraints on Lefschetz fibrations with four-dimensional fibers from Seiberg-Witten theory

Hokuto Konno, Jianfeng Lin, Anubhav Mukherjee +1

We establish constraints on the topology of smooth Lefschetz fibrations with -dimensional fibers, by studying the family Bauer-Furuta invariant. To compute this invariant, we an…

The monodromy diffeomorphism of weighted singularities and Seiberg--Witten theory

Hokuto Konno, Jianfeng Lin, Anubhav Mukherjee +1

We prove that the monodromy diffeomorphism of a complex 2-dimensional isolated hypersurface singularity of weighted-homogeneous type has infinite order in the smooth mapping class…

Hokuto Konno, Jianfeng Lin, Anubhav Mukherjee +1

We study the monodromy diffeomorphism of Milnor fibrations of isolated complex surface singularities, by computing the family Seiberg--Witten invariant of Seifert-fibered Dehn twis…

Exotically knotted closed surfaces from Donaldson's diagonalization for families

Hokuto Konno, Abhishek Mallick, Masaki Taniguchi

We introduce a method to detect exotic surfaces without explicitly using a smooth 4-manifold invariant or an invariant of a 4-manifold-surface pair in the construction. Our main to…

On localizing groups of exotic diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds

Hokuto Konno, Abhishek Mallick

Ruberman in the 90's showed that the group of exotic diffeomorphisms of closed 4-manifolds can be infinitely generated. We provide various results on the question of when such infi…

The homology of moduli spaces of 4-manifolds may be infinitely generated

Hokuto Konno

For a simply-connected closed manifold of , the mapping class group is known to be finitely generated. We prove that analogous finite gen…

Exotic Dehn twists on 4-manifolds

Hokuto Konno, Abhishek Mallick, Masaki Taniguchi

We initiate the study of exotic Dehn twists along 3-manifolds inside -manifolds, which produces the first known examples of exotic diffeomorphisms of contractible 4-m…

Involutions, links, and Floer cohomologies

Hokuto Konno, Jin Miyazawa, Masaki Taniguchi

We develop a version of Seiberg--Witten Floer cohomology/homotopy type for a spin 4-manifold with boundary and with an involution which reverses the spin structure, as well…

From diffeomorphisms to exotic phenomena in small 4-manifolds

Hokuto Konno, Abhishek Mallick, Masaki Taniguchi

We provide an approach to study exotic phenomena in relatively small 4-manifolds that captures many different exotic behaviors under one umbrella. These phenomena include exotic sm…

Exotic codimension-1 submanifolds in 4-manifolds and stabilizations

Hokuto Konno, Anubhav Mukherjee, Masaki Taniguchi

In a small simply-connected closed 4-manifold, we construct infinitely many pairs of exotic codimension- submanifolds with diffeomorphic complements that remain exotic after any…

Homological instability for moduli spaces of smooth 4-manifolds

Hokuto Konno, Jianfeng Lin

We prove that homological stability fails for the moduli space of any simply-connected closed smooth 4-manifold in any degree of homology, unlike what happens in all dimensions $\n…

Diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds with boundary and exotic embeddings

Nobuo Iida, Hokuto Konno, Anubhav Mukherjee +1

We define family versions of the invariant of 4-manifolds with contact boundary due to Kronheimer and Mrowka and use these to detect exotic diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds with boun…
