Abstract：
In dimension four, there are still no manifolds whose all (exotic) smooth structures are found. On the other hand, it is well known that, under a certain condition, infinitely many exotic smooth structures on a 4-manifold are generated by twisting (a neighborhood of) an embedded torus. Thus it would be natural to ask whether a (simply connected closed) 4-manifold admits a submanifold such that all exotic smooth structures are generated by twisting the submanifold. In this talk, we give a partial negative answer to this problem, and moreover, we give similar results for more general surgeries.
