Abstract
Motivated by the construction of H. Endo and Y. Gurtas, changing a positive relator in Dehn twist generators of the mapping class group by using lantern substitutions, we show that 4-manifold K3#2\CPb equipped with the genus two Lefschetz fibration can be rationally blown down along six disjoint copies of the configuration . We compute the Seiberg-Witten invariants of the resulting symplectic 4-manifold, and show that it is symplectically minimal. Using our example, we also construct an infinite family of pairwise non-diffeomorphic irreducible symplectic and non-symplectic 4-manifolds homeomorphic to M = 3\CP# (19-k)\CPb for .
