Review text

The author says that a smooth manifold \(M\) has few symmetries if, for every choice of smooth metric on \(M\), the corresponding isometry group is finite. In the paper under review the author constructs infinitely many exotic \(\mathbb{R}^4\)'s (i.e., smooth manifolds which are homeomorphic to \(\mathbb{R}^4\)) which have few symmetries. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0939.00055].
