Nonisotopic symplectic tori in the fiber class of elliptic surfaces (Q1767414)

For a complex surface, there are at most finitely many smooth complex curves (up to smooth isotopy) in a given homology class. However, there is no analogous finiteness for symplectic two-dimensional surfaces. Namely, \textit{R. Fintushel} and \textit{R. Stern} [J. Differ. Geom. 52, No. 2, 203--222 (1999; Zbl 0981.53085)] gave examples of 4-dimensional simply connected symplectic manifolds \(M\) and homology classes \(\alpha\in H_2(M)\) that can be realized by infinitely many mutually non-isotopic symplectic tori. However, it was not clear whether this can happen for primitive classes \(\alpha\). The author constructs an infinite family of mutually non-isotopic symplectic tori realizing an arbitary multiple \(q[F]\) of the homology class \([F]\) of the fiber \(F\) of an elliptic surface \(E(n), n\geq 3\). Compare also with the author's paper [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 133, No. 8, 2477--2481 (2005; Zbl 1073.57016)].
