We prove that there are rational homology balls $B_p$ smoothly embedded in the 2-handlebodies associated to certain knots. Furthermore we show that, if we rationally blow up the 2-handlebody along the embedded rational homology ball $B_p$, then the resulting 4-manifold cannot be obtained just by a sequence of ordinary blow ups from the 2-handlebody under a certain mild condition.

In this paper we prove the existence of rational homology balls smoothly embedded in regular neighborhoods of certain linear chains of smooth 2-spheres by using techniques from minimal model program for 3-dimensional complex algebraic variety.

We prove that every minimal symplectic filling of the link of a quotient surface singularity can be obtained from its minimal resolution by applying a sequence of rational blow-downs and symplectic antiflips. We present an explicit algorithm inspired by the minimal model program for complex 3-dimensional algebraic varieties.

As the sequel to our previous work [4], we construct a minimal complex surface of general type with $p_g=0$, $K^2=3$ and $H_1$ = $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ by using a rational blow-down surgery and $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing the-ory.

We construct a new family of simply connected minimal complex surfaces of general type with $p_g$ = 1, $q$ = 0, and $K^2$ = 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 using a $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing theory.
