A symplectic manifold homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to \(C\mathbb P^2 \# 3\overline{C\mathbb P}^2\) (Q2426850)

The authors construct a minimal symplectic 4-manifold homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to the complex projective plane blown-up at three points. Their example is the symplectic sum of two manifolds along a surface of genus two. The first manifold is obtained from \(T^4 \# 2\mathbb{CP}^2\) by the Luttinger surgery in a pair of Lagrangian tori and the second is again the Luttinger surgery in four Lagrangian tori in \(\Sigma_2 \times T^2\), where \(\Sigma_2\) is a closed surface of genus two.
