Kodaira dimension of fiber sums along spheres

Abstract: In this note we discuss the effect of the symplectic sum along spheres in symplectic four-manifolds on the Kodaira dimension of the underlying symplectic manifold. We find that the Kodaira dimension is non-decreasing. Moreover, we are able to obtain precise results on the structure of the manifold obtained from the blow down of an embedded symplectic −4-sphere.

“…We will also need the following lemmas, which are due to R. Gompf, to analyze the symplectic 4-manifolds constructed in Section 6. For the proof we refer the reader to [18] and [8]. See also the work of J. Dorfmeister [7,8] who gives a related criteria on symplectic minimality and how the symplectic Kodaira dimension changes under the rational blowdown along a symplectic −4 sphere (see also related work in [9]).…”

“…For the latter class, by a change of basis, they are the class F − 2S in S 2 × S 2 #(k − 1)CP 2 which clearly has a symplectic representative (here F and S denotes the fiber and base homology classes in S 2 × S 2 ). Therefore, the following lemma implies Theorem 1.8: 10 has an ω-symplectic representative for some ω with K ω = K st .…”
