Smooth structures on four-manifolds with finite cyclic fundamental groups
Published 13 Jun 2024 in math.GT and math.DG | (2406.09007v1)
Abstract: For each nonnegative integer m we show that any closed, oriented topological four-manifold with fundamental group Z_{4m+2} and odd intersection form, with possibly seven exceptions, either admits no smooth structure or admits infinitely many distinct smooth structures up to diffeomorphism. Moreover, we construct infinite families of non-complex irreducible fake projective planes with diverse fundamental groups.
