Abstract:

In this article, for each finitely presented group $G$, we construct a family of minimal symplectic $4$-manifolds with $\pi _1 =G$ which cover most lattice points $(x, {\mathbf c})$ with $x$ large in the region $0 \leq {\mathbf c} < 9x$. Furthermore, we show that all these $4$-manifolds admit infinitely many distinct smooth structures.
