Bogomolov–Miyaoka–Yau inequality for symplectic four-manifolds

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let XX be a closed, connected, oriented, smooth four-dimensional manifold with b+(X)>1b^+(X)>1. A symplectic four-manifold is a four-manifold equipped with a symplectic form. Bogomolov–Miyaoka–Yau conjecture for symplectic four-manifolds. If XX is symplectic, then

c1(X)2≤3c2(X).c_1(X)^2\leq 3c_2(X).

This is presented as a well-known special case implied by the Seiberg–Witten version, using Taubes's result that symplectic four-manifolds with b+(X)>1b^+(X)>1 have nonzero Seiberg–Witten invariants. Its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
