Review text

Topology of smooth 4-manifolds has been studied extensively by Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten theory. In [J. Math. Soc. Japan 48, No. 2, 333-350 (1996; Zbl 0881.57013)] the author used Donaldson invariants of degree 0 to give examples of exotic free actions of certain finite groups in dimension 4. In this paper, the author generalizes the result in [loc. cit.] by Seiberg-Witten theory. The author discusses Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants for connected sums of 4-manifolds and rational homology 4-spheres in \S 1 according to [\textit{M. Ue}, A note on Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants for some reducible 4-manifolds Preprint 1996]. In \S 2 by the constructions similar to those in [J. Math. Soc. Japan, loc. cit.] together with Cooper-Long's result [\textit{D. Cooper} and \textit{D. D. Long}, Free actions of finite groups and rational homology 3-spheres, Preprint 1996] the author shows Theorem. For any nontrivial finite group \(G\) there exists a 4-manifold that has infinitely many free \(G\) actions so that their orbit spaces are homeomorphic but mutually non-diffeomorphic.
