On Embedding Circle-Bundles in Four-Manifolds

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate an obstruction to finding certain splittings of four-manifolds along sufficiently twisted circle bundles over Riemann surfaces, arising from Seiberg-Witten theory. These obstructions are used to show a non-splitting result for algebraic surfaces of general type.
