Singular maps on exotic 4-manifold pairs

Geometric Topology 2014-10-01 v2

Abstract

We show examples of pairs of smooth, compact, homeomorphic 4-manifolds, whose diffeomorphism types are distinguished by the topology of the singular sets of smooth stable maps defined on them. In this distinction we rely on results from Seiberg-Witten theory.
