Each lens space has a canonical contact structure which lifts to the distribution of complex lines on the three-sphere. In this paper, we show that a symplectic homology cobordism between two lens spaces, which is given with the canonical contact structure on the boundary, must be dieomorphic to the product of a lens space with the unit interval. As one of the main ingredients in the proof, we also derive in this paper the adjunction and intersection formulae for pseudoholomorphic curves in an… Expand
Smooth s-cobordisms of elliptic 3-manifolds
The main result of this paper states that a symplectic s-cobordism of elliptic 3-manifolds is diffeomorphic to a product (assuming a canonical contact structure on the boundary). Based on thisExpand

Holomorphic curves in the symplectizations of lens spaces: an elementary approach
We present an elementary computational scheme for the moduli spaces of rational pseudo-holomorphic curves in the symplectizations of 3-dimensional lens spaces, which are equipped with Morse-BottExpand
Seiberg-Witten invariants of 3-orbifolds and non-Kähler surfaces
A formula is given which computes the Seiberg-Witten invariant of a 3-orbifold from the invariant of the underlying manifold. As an application, we derive a formula for the Seiberg-Witten invariantExpand
Seifert fibered four-manifolds with nonzero Seiberg-Witten invariant
The main result of this paper asserts that if a Seifert fibered 4-manifold has nonzero Seiberg-Witten invariant, the homotopy class of regular fibers has infinite order. This is a nontrivialExpand
Resolving symplectic orbifolds with applications to finite group actions
We associate to each symplectic 4-orbifold X a canonical smooth symplectic resolution π : X̃ → X, which can be done equivariantly if X comes with a symplectic G-action by a finite group. Moreover, weExpand
