    In [Ann. Math. (2) 142, No. 3, 527--595 (1995; Zbl 0849.53027)], \textit{R. E. Gompf} defined a surgery operation which takes two smooth manifolds and glues them along diffeomorphic submanifolds. If \((X_1,\omega_{X_1})\) and \((X_2,\omega_{X_2})\) are closed symplectic \(2n\)-dimensional manifolds, \((Y,\omega_{Y})\) is another symplectic manifold of dimension \(2n-2\) with symplectic embeddings \(j_i: Y\to X_i\), \(Y_i\) are the images \(j_i(Y)\), and \(\nu_i\) are their normal bundles in \(X_i\), then for any choice of an orientation reversing \(\psi:\nu_1\cong\nu_2\), the manifold \((X_1\setminus Y_1)\cup_\psi(X_2\setminus Y_2)\) is called the symplectic connected sum of \(X_1\) and \(X_2\) along \(Y\) and is denoted by \(X_1\#_\psi X_2\), where the Euler classes of \(\nu_i\) satisfy \(e(\nu_1)+e(\nu_2)=0\). A symplectic manifold \(M\) with \(c_1(M)=0\) is called a symplectic Calabi-Yau manifold. Let \(\mathbb{CP}^2\) denote the complex projective plane and let \(\overline{\mathbb{CP}}^2\) denote the underlying smooth \(4\)-manifold \(\mathbb{CP}^2\) equipped with the opposite orientation. Let \(E(1)=\mathbb{CP}^2\#9\overline{\mathbb{CP}}^2\) be the complex projective plane blown up at \(9\) points. In this paper, the author constructs a simply connected symplectic Calabi-Yau \(6\)-manifold and a non-Kähler symplectic Calabi-Yau \(6\)-manifold with the fundamental group \(\mathbb Z\) that are obtained from \(E(1)\times\mathbb T^2\) by symplectic connected sum along \(\mathbb T^4\). Also, it is shown that there exist symplectic Calabi-Yau \(6\)-manifolds with the fundamental groups \(\mathbb Z_p\times\mathbb Z_q\) and \(\mathbb Z\times\mathbb Z_q\) for any \(p\geq 1\) and \(q\geq 1\) that can be obtained via co-isotropic Luttinger surgeries along \(\mathbb T^2\times\mathbb T^2\) on \(K3\times\mathbb T^2\).
