distinguishing diffeomorphisms with equivariant bauer-furuta invariants

abstract:

simply connected smooth 4-manifolds are complicated; understanding anything about them is good progress toward the larger goal of classification. there have been some discoveries in the past few years that distinguish exotic diffeomorphisms (which are topologically isotopic, but not smoothly so) using the families bauer-furuta invariant. the goal of this talk is to provide the context of this area, the background for the families bauer-furuta invariant, and some ideas for my future research directions.
