We also show that every closed oriented 4-manifold with $b_2^+\\equiv b_2^-\\equiv 3\\pmod{4}$ and without 1-handles admits no symplectic structure for at least one orientation of the manifold. In fact, we prove these results for non-simply connected 4-manifolds as well, by relaxing the condition `without 1-handles'.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-30T17:22:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57R55", "57R65", "57R17" ], "keywords": [ "symplectic structure", "vanishing stable cohomotopy seiberg-witten invariant", "orientation", "positive definite" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
