Fintushel-Stern knot surgery in torus bundles

Abstract: Suppose that X is a torus bundle over a closed surface with homologically essential fibers. Let XK be the manifold obtained by Fintushel--Stern knot surgery on a fiber using a knot KsubsetS3. We prove that XK has a symplectic structure if and only if K is a fibered knot. The proof uses Seiberg--Witten theory and a result of Friedl--Vidussi on twisted Alexander polynomials.
