Symplectic 4-Manifolds and Algebraic Surfaces Lectures given at the C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Cetraro, Italy, September 2-10, 2003 /

Modern approaches to the study of symplectic 4-manifolds and algebraic surfaces combine a wide range of techniques and sources of inspiration. Gauge theory, symplectic geometry, pseudoholomorphic curves, singularity theory, moduli spaces, braid groups, monodromy, in addition to classical topology an...
