摘要

We provide an approach to study exotic phenomena in relatively small 4-manifolds that captures many different exotic behaviors under one umbrella. These phenomena include exotic smooth structures on 4-manifolds with \(b_2=1\) b 2 = 1 , examples of strong corks, and exotic codimension-1 embeddings into \(C P^2 \# - C P^2\) C P 2 # - C P 2 that survive external stabilization. We also give a new way to detect a homeomorphism of a 4-manifold that is not topologically isotopic to any diffeomorphism and give lower bounds of relative genera of certain knots. Our primary tools are constraints on diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds obtained from families Seiberg–Witten theory.
