In this note we construct an anti-symplectic involution on the non-$K\ddot{a}hler$, symplectic 4-manifold which is constructed by Thurston and show that the quotient of the Thurston's 4-manifold is not symplectic. Also we construct a non-$K\ddot{a}hler$, symplectic 4-manifold using the Gomph's symplectic sum method and an anti-symplectic involution on the non-$K\ddot{a}hler$, symplectic 4-manifold.

We present a smooth simply connected closed eight dimensional manifold with distinct symplectic deformation equivalence classes [[${\omega}_i$]], i = 1, 2 such that the symplectic Z invariant, which is defined in terms of the scalar curvatures of almost K$\ddot{a}$hler metrics in [5], satisfies $Z(M,[[{\omega}_1]])={\infty}$ and $Z(M,[[{\omega}_2]])$ < 0.

In this paper when $(M, \omega)$ is a compact weakly exact symplectic manifold with nonempty boundary satisfying $c_1｜{\pi}_2(M)$ = 0, we construct an action spectrum bundle over the group of Hamil-tonian diffeomorphisms of the manifold M generated by the time-dependent Hamiltonian vector fields, whose fibre is nowhere dense and invariant under symplectic conjugation.

For a closed symplectic 4-manifold X, let $Diff_0$(X) be the group of diffeomorphisms of X smoothly isotopic to the identity, and let Symp(X) be the subgroup of $Diff_0$(X) consisting of symplectic automorphisms. In this paper we show that for any finitely given collection of positive integers {$n_1$, $n_2$, $\ldots$, $n_k$} and any non-negative integer m, there exists a closed symplectic (or K$\ddot{a}$hler) 4-manifold X with $b_2^+$ (X) > m such that the homologies $H_i$ of the quotient space $Diff_0$(X)/Symp(X) over the rational coefficients are non-trivial for all odd degrees i = $2n_1$ - 1, $\ldots$, $2n_k$ - 1. The basic idea of this paper is to use the local invariants for symplectic 4-manifolds with contact boundary, which are extended from the invariants of Kronheimer for closed symplectic 4-manifolds, as well as the symplectic compactifications of Stein surfaces of Lisca and Mati$\acute{c}$.

We present smooth simply connected closed 4k-dimensional manifolds N := N_k, for each k ∈ {2, 3, ⋯}, with distinct symplectic deformation equivalence classes [[ω_i]], i = 1, 2. To distinguish [[ω_i]]’s, we used the symplectic Z invariant in [4] which depends only on the symplectic deformation equivalence class. We have computed that Z(N, [[ω₁]]) = ∞ and Z(N, [[ω₂]]) < 0.

In this paper, we construct a new exotic smooth 4-manifold X which is homeomorphic, but not diffeomorphic, to ${\mathbb{C}}\mathbb{P}^2{\sharp}13\overline{\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}}^2$. Moreover the manifold X has vanishing Seiberg-Witten invariants for all $Spin^c$-structures of X and has no symplectic structure.

We discuss on the classification problem of symplectic manifolds into three families according to the scalar curvature functions of almost K$\ddot{a}$hler metrics they admit. We also present a 4-dimensional solv-manifold as an example which belongs to one of the three families.

In this note we show that there is an anti-symplectic involution $\sigma\;:\;X\;\to\;X$ on a simply-connected, closed, non-Kahler and symplectic 4-manifold X with a disjoint union of Riemann surfaces ${\amalg}^n_{i=1}{\Sigma}_i,\;n\;{\ge}\;2$ as a fixed point set. Also we show that its quotient X/$\sigma$ is homeomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^2{\sharp}r\mathbb{CP}^2$ but not diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^2{\sharp}r\mathbb{CP}^2,\;r\;=\;b_2^-(X/{\sigma})$.

We present a 4-dimensional nil-manifold as the first example of a closed non-K$\ddot{a}$hlerian symplectic manifold with the following property: a function is the scalar curvature of some almost K$\ddot{a}$hler metric iff it is negative somewhere. This is motivated by the Kazdan-Warner's work on classifying smooth closed manifolds according to the possible scalar curvature functions.

In studying smooth 4-manifolds the Donaldson invariant has played a central role. In [D1] Donaldson showed that non-vanishing Donaldson invariant of a smooth closed oriented 4-manifold X gives rise to the indecomposability of X. For instance, the complex algebraic suface X cannot decompose to a connected sum $X_1 #X_2$ with both $b_2^+(X_i) > 0$.
