Fintushel-Stern knot surgery in torus bundles

Ni, Yi

Abstract

Suppose that X is a torus bundle over a closed surface with homologically essential fibers. Let X_K be the manifold obtained by Fintushel–Stern knot surgery on a fiber using a knot K⊂S^3. We prove that X_K has a symplectic structure if and only if K is a fibered knot. The proof uses Seiberg–Witten theory and a result of Friedl–Vidussi on twisted Alexander polynomials.
