Complexity of exotic R4's

A smooth manifold which is homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to R4 is called an exotic R4 . In this paper we construct several examples of such spaces, and define a notion of complexity for smooth manifolds homeomorphic to R4 . In particular, for R homeomorphic to R4 , we define the comple...
