Abstract: For most positive integer pairs $(a,b)$, the topological space $$ is shown to admit infinitely many inequivalent smooth structures which dissolve upon performing a single connected sum with $S^{2}imes{S}^2$. This is then used to construct infinitely many non-equivalent smooth free actions of suitable finite groups on the connected sum $$. We then investigate the behavior of the sign of the Yamabe invariant for the resulting finite covers, and observe that these constructions provide many new counter-examples to the $4$-dimensional Rosenberg Conjecture.
