On the homeomophism type of smooth projective fourfolds

Abstract

In this paper we study smooth complex projective 44-folds which are topologically equivalent. First we show that Fano fourfolds are never oriented homeomorphic to Ricci-flat projective fourfolds and that Calabi-Yau manifolds and hyperk\"ahler manifolds in dimension 4\ge 4 are never oriented homeomorphic. Finally, we give a coarse classification of smooth projective fourfolds which are oriented homeomorphic to a hyperk\"ahler fourfold which is deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme S[2]S^{[2]} of two points of a projective K3 surface S.S. We also present an explicit example of a smooth projective fourfold oriented homeomorphic to S[2],S^{[2]}, which has positive Kodaira dimension.

Correction of an error (exotic structure for certain Hk 4-fold was wrongly stated in the previous version, now added as an open problem), submitted
