Inspired by the degree 0-part of the Donaldson invariant of a 4-manifold, the author has in an earlier paper [Math. Res. Lett. 5, No. 6, 743-758 (1998; Zbl 0946.57025)] defined an invariant, which provides an effective obstruction to decide whether topological and smooth isotopy coincide for diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds. In the present paper, the author extends the definition of his invariant to give a polynomial-type invariant, which is analogous to the full Donaldson polynomial. As an application he shows that the group of path-components of the diffeomorphism group of certain 4-manifolds is infinitely generated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0939.00055].
