Symplectic genus, minimal genus and diffeomorphisms

In this paper, the symplectic genus for any 2-dimensional class in a 4-manifold admitting a symplectic structure is introduced, and its relation with the minimal genus is studied. It is used to describe which classes in rational and irrational ruled manifolds are realized by connected symplectic surfaces. In particular, we completely determine which classes with square at least -1 in such manifolds can be represented by embedded spheres. Moreover, based on a new characterization of the action of the diffeomorphism group on the intersection forms of a rational manifold, we are able to determine the orbits of the diffeomorphism group on the set of classes represented by embedded spheres of square at least -1 in any 4-manifold admitting a symplectic structure.

SO(3) invariants of Seifert manifolds and their algebraic integrality

For Seifert manifold $M=X({p_1}/_{\f{q_1}},{p_2}/_{\f{q_2}}, ...,{p_n}/_ {\f{q_n}}), τ^{'}_r(M)$ is calculated for all $r$ odd $\geq 3$. If $r$ is coprime to at least $n-2$ of $p_k$ (e.g. when $M$ is the Poincare homology sphere), it is proved that $(\sqrt {\dfrac{4}{r}}\sin \dfracπ{r})^ντ^{'}_r(M)$ is an algebraic integer in the r-th cyclotomic field, where $ν$ is the first Betti number of $M$. For the torus bundle obtained from trefoil knot with framing 0, i.e. $X_{tref}(0)=X(-2/_{\f{1}},3/_{\f{1}},6/_{\f{1}}), τ^{'}_r$ is obtained in a simple form if $3\mid\llap /r$, which shows in some sense that it is impossible to generalize Ohtsuki's invariant to 3-manifolds being not rational homology spheres.

Kirby-Melvin's $τ_r^{'}$ and Ohtsuki's $τ$ for Lens spaces

In this note, we first derive explicit formulas for Kirby-Melvin's three-manifold invariants $τ_r^{'}$ for all Lens spaces from our results for another set of invariants $ξ_r$ defined by the first author. Then, as a corollary, we obtain formulas for Othsuki's $τ$ for all Lens spaces.
