Nonsymplectic 4-Manifolds with One Basic Class
Ronald Fintushel, Ronald J. Stern
It is the purpose of this paper to construct families of examples of nonsymplectic 4-manifolds which (up to sign) have just one Seiberg-Witten basic class.

Symplectic surfaces in a fixed homology class
Ronald Fintushel, Ronald J. Stern
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the following problem: For a fixed 2-dimensional homology class K in a simply connected symplectic 4-manifold, up to smooth isotopy, how…
