A note on exotic families of 4-manifolds

Geometric Topology 2021-10-27 v2

Abstract

We present a pair of smooth fiber bundles over the circle with a common 44-dimensional fiber with the following properties: (1) their total spaces are diffeomorphic to each other; (2) they are isomorphic to each other as topological fiber bundles; (3) they are not isomorphic to each other as smooth fiber bundles. In particular, we exhibit an example with non-simply-connected fiber.
