Surgery on nullhomologous tori and simply connected 4-manifolds with b^+=1
Ronald Fintushel, Ronald J. Stern
For 5 <= k <= 8 we show that the infinite family of exotic smooth structures on CP^2# k(-CP^2) can be achieved by 1/n - surgeries on a single embedded nullhomologous torus in a man…
Double node neighborhoods and families of simply connected 4-manifolds with b^+=1
Ronald Fintushel, Ronald J. Stern
We introduce a new technique that is used to show that the complex projective plane blown up at 6, 7, or 8 points has infinitely many distinct smooth structures. None of these smoo…
Families of Simply Connected 4-Manifolds with the Same Seiberg-Witten Invariants
Ronald Fintushel, Ronald J. Stern
This article presents the constructions of new infinite families of smooth 4-manifolds with the property that any two manifolds in the same family are homeomorphic and, from their…
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.
Constructions of Smooth 4-Manifolds
Ronald Fintushel, Ronald J. Stern
We describe a collection of constructions which illustrate a panoply of ``exotic'' smooth 4-manifolds.
