Unsmoothable group actions on elliptic surfaces
[ Abstract ]
Let G be a cyclic group of order 3,5 or 7.
We prove the existence of locally linear G-actions on elliptic surfaces which can not be realized by smooth actions with respect to specific smooth structures.
To prove this, we give constraints on smooth actions by using gauge theory.
In fact, we use a mod p vanishing theorem on Seiberg-Witten invariants, which was originally proved by F.Fang.
We give a geometric alternative proof of this, which enables us to extend the theorem.
