Abstract: We show that each of the topological 4-manifolds $$k = 6, 7$admitsasmoothstructurewhichhasanEinsteinmetricofscalarcurvature$s > 0$,asmoothstructurewhichhasanEinsteinmetricwith$s < 0$andinfinitelymanynon-diffeomorphicsmoothstructureswhichdonotadmitEinsteinmetrics.Weshowthatthereareinfinitelymanymanifoldshomeomorphicnon-diffeomorphicto$CP^2#5�ar{CP^2}$ which do not admit an Einstein metric. We also exhibit new higher dimensional examples of manifolds carrying Einstein metrics of both positive and negative scalar curvature. The main ingredients are recent constructions of exotic symplectic or complex manifolds with small topological numbers.
