The hyperwinding family conjecture for simply connected symplectic four-manifolds

Let MM be a simply connected symplectic four-manifold with an S2S^2 family of hyper-winding symplectic forms. A hyper-winding family is an S2S^2 family of symplectic forms satisfying the hyperwinding condition described in the source.

Hyperwinding family conjecture. MM is diffeomorphic to the underlying smooth manifold of a K3K3 surface, and the hyperwinding family of symplectic forms is homotopic, through S2S^2 families of symplectic forms, to the S2S^2 family of hyperkähler structures of a K3K3 surface.

The conjecture is motivated by the family blowup formula and the fact that the corresponding family invariant recovers the number 2424 of singular nodal fibers in an elliptic K3K3 surface. Its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
