    A note on collapse, entropy, and vanishing of the Yamabe invariant of symplectic 4-manifolds

    No full text
    We make use of F-structures and technology developed by Paternain\u2013Petean to compute minimal entropy, minimal volume, and Yamabe invariant of symplectic 4-manifolds, as well as to study their collapse with sectional curvature bounded from below. \uc0 la Gompf, we show that these invariants vanish on symplectic 4-manifolds that realize any given finitely presented group as their fundamental group. We extend to the symplectic realm a result of LeBrun which relates the Kodaira dimension with the Yamabe invariant of compact complex surfaces
