Abstract

We analyze four-dimensional symplectic manifolds of type X=S1×M3X=S^1 \times M^3 where M3M^3 is an open 33-manifold admitting inequivalent fibrations leading to inequivalent symplectic structures on XX. For the case where M3S3M^3 \subset S^3 is the complement of a 44-component link constructed by McMullen-Taubes, we provide a general algorithm for computing the monodromy of the fibrations explicitly. We use this algorithm to show that certain inequivalent symplectic structures are distinguished by the dimensions of the primitive cohomologies of differential forms on XX. We also calculate the primitive cohomologies on XX for a class of open 33-manifolds that are complements of a family of fibered graph links in S3S^3. In this case, we show that there exist pairs of symplectic forms on XX, arising from either equivalent or inequivalent pairs of fibrations on the link complement, that have different dimensions of the primitive cohomologies.
