      The main result states that for each integer \(n\), there is a homotopy \(K3\) smooth 4-manifold that admits \(n\) inequivalent symplectic structures. The construction of the manifold uses a generalization of the Fintushel-Stern link surgery, and the symplectic structures are distinguished by comparing their canonical classes.
