A 2-replaceable plumbing tree is defined in an analogous way. In this paper, we classify all 2-replaceable linear plumbings, build some families of 2-replaceable plumbing trees, and use one such tree to construct a symplectic exotic $\\mathbb{C}P^2#6\\bar{\\mathbb{C}P}^2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-08-17T21:45:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "euler characteristic", "symplectically replacing plumbings", "linear plumbing", "lens space boundary", "standard contact structure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
