abstract

  • Introducing the notion of stabilized fundamental group for the complement of a branch curve in ℂℙ2, we define effectively computable invariants of symplectic 4-manifolds that generalize those previously introduced by Moishezon and Teicher for complex projective surfaces. Moreover, we study the structure of these invariants and formulate conjectures supported by calculations on new examples. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
