Abstract
In this article, we show that, at least for non-simply connected case, there exist an infinite family of nondiffeomorphic symplectic $4$-manifolds with the same Seiberg-Witten invariants. The main techniques are knot surgery and a covering method developed in Fintushel and Stern’s paper, “Nondiffeomorphic symplectic 4-manifolds with the same Seiberg-Witten invariants”.
