Minimality and irreducibility of symplectic four-manifolds
M. J. D. Hamilton, D. Kotschick
We prove that all minimal symplectic four-manifolds are essentially irreducible. We also clarify the relationship between holomorphic and symplectic minimality of Kähler surfaces.…

Minimizing Euler characteristics of symplectic four-manifolds
D. Kotschick
We prove that the minimal Euler characteristic of a closed symplectic four-manifold with given fundamental group is often much larger than the minimal Euler characteristic of almos…
