Title: Complements of smooth surfaces in simply connected 4-manifolds
Abstract:
In this talk based on joint work with Daniel Ruberman I will discuss our recent solution to one of Kronheimer's problems in the 1997 Kirby problem list. More specifically, for each integer n we construct a simply connected 4-manifold admitting a smoothly embedded surface of self intersection number n such that the complement of the surface has non-trivial fundamental group.
