Abstract

We show that for any nonzero class AA in H2(X;Z2)H_2(X; \mathbb{Z}_2) in a rational 4-manifold XX, AA is represented by a nonorientable embedded Lagrangian surface L (for some symplectic structure) if and only if P(A)(L)(mod 4)P(A)\equiv (L) (mod\ 4); where P(A)P(A) denotes the mod 4 valued Pontrjagin square of AA.
