Wall's stable realization for diffeomorphisms of definite 4-manifolds

Abstract: Let

X

be a smooth simply connected closed 4-manifold with definite intersection form. We show that any automorphism of the intersection form of

X

is realized by a diffeomorphism of

. This extends and completes Wall's foundational result from 1964.
