Horizontal decompositions, II
Paolo Lisca, Andrea Parma
We complete the classification of the smooth, closed, oriented 4-manifolds having Euler characteristic less than four and a horizontal handlebody decomposition of genus one. We use…
Horizontal decompositions, I
Paolo Lisca, Andrea Parma
We show that every smooth, closed, orientable 4-manifold X admits a special kind of handlebody decomposition that we call horizontal. We classify the closed 4-manifolds with the si…
On almost complex embeddings of rational homology balls
Paolo Lisca, Andrea Parma
We use elementary arguments to prove that none of the Stein rational homology 4-balls shown by the authors and Brendan Owens to embed smoothly but not symplectically in the complex…
On Stein rational balls smoothly but not symplectically embedded in CP^2
Paolo Lisca, Andrea Parma
We extend recent work of Brendan Owens by constructing a doubly infinite family of Stein rational homology balls which can be smoothly but not symplectically embedded in CP^2.
