The geography of simply-connected symplectic manifolds
By using the Seiberg-Witten invariant we show that the region under the Noether line in the lattice domain is covered by minimal, simply connected, symplectic 4-manifolds.
The geometric genus of hypersurface singularities
Using the path lattice cohomology we provide a conceptual topological characterization of the geometric genus for certain complex normal surface singularities with rational homology sphere links, which is uniformly valid for all superisolated and Newton non-degenerate hypersurface singularities.

The Seiberg–Witten invariants of negative definite plumbed 3-manifolds
Assume that is a connected negative definite plumbing graph, and that the associated plumbed 3-manifold is a rational homology sphere. We provide two new combinatorial formulae for the Seiberg–Witten invariant of . The first one is the constant term of a ‘multivariable Hilbert polynomial’, it reflects in a conceptual way the structure of the graph , and emphasizes the subtle parallelism between these topological invariants and the analytic invariants of normal surface singularities. The second...
