Abstract

Let XX be a simply connected 4-manifold containing a (1)(-1)-sphere ee. Fintushel and Stern prove that Dc(exp(te))=Dc(B(t))oneifceiseven, D_c(\exp(te)) = D_c(B(t)) on e^\perp if c\cdot e is even, Dc(exp(te))=Dce(S(t))oneifceisodd, D_c(\exp(te)) = D_{c-e}(S(t)) on e^\perp if c \cdot e is odd, for some universal series B(t),S(t)\Q[x][[t]]B(t),S(t) \in \Q[x][[t]] with xx the class of a point. We show that their method can easily be extended to (2)(-2)-spheres τ\tau to give blow up formulas like Dc(exp(tτ))=Dc(B2(t)+S2(t)/2τ2)onτperpifcτiseven. D_c(\exp(t\tau)) = D_c(B^2(t) + S^2(t)/2 \tau^2) on \tau^perp if c\cdot \tau is even.
