ABSTRACT

In this article we prove that Fintushel-Stern's construction of Horikawa surface, which is obtained from an elliptic surface via a rational blow-down surgery in smooth category, can be performed in complex category. The main technique involved is Q-Gorenstein smoothings.

ABSTRACT: We compute the Yamabe invariant for a class of symplectic 4-manifolds of general type obtained by taking the rational blowdown of Kahler surfaces. In particular, for any point on the half-Noether line we exhibit a simply connected minimal symplectic manifold for which we compute the Yamabe invariant.

• "Xt , the dimension of the deformation space of X t is equal to h 1 (X t , T Xt ) = 10 − 2K 2 Xt , and hence there is no nontrivial deformation of X t if K 2 Xt ≥ 5. The case of E(n) with n ≥ 4 were worked out in [17] and [14]. The case of E(3) will be treated in the last section. "
##### Article: Construction of surfaces of general type from elliptic surfaces via Q-Gorenstein smoothing
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present methods to construct interesting surfaces of general type via Q-Gorenstein smoothing of a singular surface obtained from an elliptic surface. By applying our methods to Enriques surfaces admitting a special elliptic fibration, we construct minimal surfaces of general type with p_g=0, and \pi_1=Z/2Z. Comment: Small change (Remark 3.11 and references are added.)

• "where all vertical maps are double covers. Then, it is shown in [10] that the singular surface X n has a Q-Gorenstein smoothing of two quotient singularities simultaneously by Theorem 3.2, and its smoothing is a Horikawa surface (cf. [4]). "
##### Article: Complex structure on the rational blowdown of sections in E(4)
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We show that there is a complex structure on the symplectic 4-manifold $W_{4, k}$ obtained from the elliptic surface E(4) by rationally blowing down $k$ sections for $2\le k\le 9$. And we interpret it via ${\mathbb Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing. This answers affirmatively to a question raised by R. Gompf. Comment: Minor changes are made.
