Embeddings of magnetic cotangent bundles over surfaces into closed symplectic 4-manifolds

This can always be done. Let's first treat the case when $\Sigma$ is not a torus. Then take any symplectic $4$-manifold $(M,\omega)$ where $\Sigma$ can be embedded as a Lagrangian surface. Now, take a …

Arbitrary torsion in cohomology of Kähler manifolds

The answer is positive and can be deduced from Proposition 15 of "Sur la topologie des varietes algebriques en characteristique p" by Serre. According to this proposition for any finite group $G$ ther …

Unique almost complex structure up to diffeomorphism

You were lucky to find the only possible example. If you take any manifold of dimension $\ge 4$ you can pick an almost complex structure that is integrable in some closed ball and make it non-integrab …

Homotoping diffeomorphism to a $J$-holomorphic one

No. Take the torus $T^2=\mathbb R^2/\mathbb Z^2$ and consider the self-map induced by the matrix $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$$ PS. As for simply-connected examples, I think that a …

Antiholomorphic involution with a fixed point

No. There exist both non-algebraic and projective counterexamples. 1 Non-algebraic example. Take a flat Euclidean torus $T^4=M$ and let $Z$ be its twistor space. It has an antiholomorphic involution w …

Non-algebraic Kähler threefolds with abelian $\pi_1$ of arbitrarily large rank

Let's construct such a Kahler $3$-fold $X$. It will be obtained as an elliptic fibration over a projective surface $S$ with abelian fundamental group $\mathbb Z^{2g}$. Construction. Recall first that …

Chern/Hodge numbers of the conjugate complex manifold

These are all the same. As for Hodge numbers, you can choose a Kahler metric $g$ on $(M,J)$, and it will also be Kahler for $(M,-J)$. Now we know that $h^{p,q}$ is the dimension of the space of harmon …

Fano manifold becoming general type upon conjugation

No. $(M,J)$ and $(M,-J)$ have conjugate pluri-canonical rings, hence have same Kodaira dimension. Proof. Take a section $\mu$ of $K_{(M, J)}^{\otimes n}$, then $\bar \mu$ is a holomorphic section of $ …

Complex projective manifold with an antiholomorphic involution

Corrected. As Robert Bryant points out, it is not enough to show that the manifold can be realised as a submanifold of $\mathbb CP^n$ invariant under some anti-holomorphic involution of $\mathbb CP^n$ …

Deformation equivalent vs diffeomorphic to projective manifold

I believe the answer is yes and follows from the combination of Theorem 4.6 here https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0111245.pdf and Theorem 1.3 here https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0111245.pdf The first result sho …

Symplectic structure on the square of a 3-manifold

Here is a Kahler example. Consider a hyper-elliptic curve $C$ of positive genus with involution $\sigma$. Take $C\times S^1$ and quotient $C\times S^1$ by $\mathbb Z_2$ that rotates $S^1$ by a half-tu …

Topological factors of complex projective manifolds

Let $M=\mathbb CP^2\#\mathbb CP^2$ and let $S=T^2$ be the $2$-dimensional torus. I think this gives an example for the original question. As for the symplectic version of the question, I am sure it is …

Diffeomorphisms pushing forward vector field to any non-zero multiple

Such a manifold exists. First let's construct a non-compact example. Take $PSL(2,\mathbb R)$ and take two $1$-parameter subgroups, given by $$\begin{pmatrix} e^{t} & 0 \\ 0 & e^{-t} \end{pmatrix}, \ …

Real points on a projective curve

It looks like the lower bound is $0$ if $d$ is even and $1$ if $d$ is odd. Construction. Suppose $d=2p$. Take the curve $F=(z_1^2+z_2^2+z_3^2)^p=0$. It doesn't have real points at all. Taking a small …

Study topology from existence of multiple smooth structures?

Since this question might have many answers, I can propose one possible answer (I hope this is really an answer to the question.) So, suppose we have a smooth $4$-dimensional manifold. We want to tria …
