Symplectic \((-2)\)-spheres and the symplectomorphism group of small rational 4-manifolds. II



Abstract: For , let Nomega be the number of (−2)-symplectic spherical homology classes.We completely determine the Torelli symplectic mapping class group (Torelli SMCG): the Torelli SMCG is trivial if Nomega>8; it is pi0(Diff+(S2,5)) if Nomega=0 (by Paul Seidel and Jonathan Evans); it is pi0(Diff+(S2,4)) in the remaining case. Further, we completely determine the rank of for any given symplectic form. Our results can be uniformly presented regarding Dynkin diagrams of type mathbbA and type mathbbD Lie algebras. We also provide a solution to the smooth isotopy problem of rational 4-manifolds.
