Abstract
Let be an oriented 4-manifold which does not have simple SW-type, for example a blow-up of a rational or ruled surface. We show that any two cohomologous and deformation equivalent symplectic forms on are isotopic. This implies that blow-ups of these manifolds are unique, thus extending work of Biran. We also establish uniqueness of structure for certain fibered 4-manifolds.
