Embedded surfaces and the structure of Donaldson's polynomial invariants
From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Embedded surfaces and the structure of Donaldson's polynomial invariants)
This paper shows how the smooth structure on a large class of 4-manifolds determines a collection of 2-dimensional cohomology classes. Various analogies with classes derived from the geometry of complex algebraic surfaces are noted. For example the classes constrain the genus of smoothly embedded 2-manifolds by an inequality analogous to the adjunction formula for algebraic surfaces; if the 4-manifold is an algebraic surface then the canonical class is often one of the basic classes.
