On diffeomorphisms of complex surfaces
[ Abstract ]
Many basic questions about the diffeomorphism groups of complex surfaces remain unresolved. For example, until recently it was unknown whether there exists a simply-connected complex surface admitting a diffeomorphism that acts trivially on the intersection form but is not isotopic to the identity. We have recently answered this question by showing that certain elliptic surfaces do admit such diffeomorphisms. These diffeomorphisms are obtained as suitable compositions of reflections along (-2)-curves. Moreover, this result also provides a negative answer to a question of Donaldson in symplectic geometry. This talk is based on joint work with David Baraglia, and with Jianfeng Lin, Anubhav Mukherjee, and Juan Muñoz-Echániz.
