Differential Topology of Complex Surfaces
Morgan, John W. / O'Grady, Kieran G.
This book is about the smooth classification of a certain
class of algebraicsurfaces, namely regular elliptic
surfaces of geometric genus one, i.e. elliptic surfaces with
b1 = 0 and b2+ = 3. The authors give a complete
classification of these surfaces up to diffeomorphism. They
achieve this result by partially computing one of Donalson's
polynomial invariants. The computation is carried out using
techniques from algebraic geometry. In t...
