Dehn twists on 4-manifolds (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Dehn twists on surfaces form a basic class of diffeomorphisms. On 4-manifolds, an analogue of Dehn twist can be defined by considering twists along Seifert fibered 3-manifolds. In this talk, I will explain how this type of diffeomorphism exhibits interesting properties from the perspective of differential topology, and occasionally from the viewpoint of symplectic geometry as well. The proof involves gauge theory for families. This talk includes joint work with Abhishek Mallick and Masaki Taniguchi, as well as joint work with Jianfeng Lin, Anubhav Mukherjee, and Juan Muñoz-Echániz.
