Abstract

In this article we compute the mapping class group of the total space S(ξ)S(\xi) of the sphere bundle of a 3-dimensional real vector bundle ξ\xi over the complex projective plane P2\mathbb{P}^2 with p1(ξ),[P2]=8n+5\langle p_1(\xi), [\mathbb{P}^2] \rangle =8n+5. Examples of these manifolds include the Milnor hypersurface M1M_1 and its generalizations Mk={(x,y)P2×P2  xikyi=0}M_k=\{(x,y)\in \mathbb{P}^2\times\mathbb{P}^2 \ | \ \sum x^k_iy_i=0\} with kk odd.
