Reverse engineering small 4-manifolds

Ronald Fintushel, B. Doug Park, Ronald J. Stern

Published 2007-01-29, updated 2010-04-18Version 6

We introduce a general procedure called `reverse engineering' that can be used to construct infinite families of smooth 4-manifolds in a given homeomorphism type. As one of the applications of this technique, we produce an infinite family of pairwise nondiffeomorphic 4-manifolds homeomorphic to CP^2#3(-CP^2).
