Title Construction of symplectic cohomology S2 x S2
Author Anar Akhmedov
Abstract
In this article, we present symplectic 4-manifolds with the same integral cohomology as S2 x S2. A generalization of this construction is given as well, an infinite family of symplectic 4-manifolds cohomology equivalent to #(2g-1)(S2 x S2) for any g ≥ 2. We also compute the Seiberg-Witten invariants of the 4-manifolds we construct.
