Abstract

We construct an infinite family of simply connected, pairwise nondiffeomorphic 4-manifolds, all homeomorphic to $3{\mathbb {CP}}^2 \# 9 {\overline {{\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^2}}$. Similar ideas provide examples of 4-manifolds with $b_2^+=3$, $b_2^-=8$, vanishing first homology and nontrivial Seiberg–Witten invariants.
