In this thesis, we study exotic smooth structures on 4-manifolds with finite fundamental groups. For an arbitrary finite group G, we construct an infinite family of smooth 4-manifolds with fundamental group G, which are all homeomorphic but mutually non-diffeomorphic, using the small symplectic manifold with arbitrary fundamental group constructed by S. Baldridge and P. Kirk, together with the methods of A. Akhmedov, R.Ý. Baykur and D. Park for constructing infinite families of exotic simply connected 4-manifolds. In the final chapter, pairs of small exotic 4-manifolds with a cyclic fundamental group of any odd order are constructed.

Open book decompositions of links of quotient surface singularities
Yılmaz, Elif; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Department of Mathematics (2009)
In this thesis, we write explicitly the open book decompositions of links of quotient surface singularities that support the corresponding unique Milnor fillable contact structures. The page-genus of these Milnor open books are minimal among all Milnor open books supporting the corresponding unique Milnor fillable contact structures. That minimal page-genus is called Milnor genus. In this thesis we also investigate whether the Milnor genus is equal to the support genus for links of quotient surface singular...
Legendrian knots and open book decompositions
Çelik Onaran, Sinem; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Department of Mathematics (2009)
In this thesis, we define a new invariant of a Legendrian knot in a contact manifold using an open book decomposition supporting the contact structure. We define the support genus of a Legendrian knot L in a contact 3-manifold as the minimal genus of a page of an open book of M supporting the contact structure such that L sits on a page and the framings given by the contact structure and the page agree. For any topological link in 3-sphere we construct a planar open book decomposition whose monodromy is a p...
On the Krall-type polynomials on q-quadratic lattices
Alvarez-Nodarse, R.; Adiguzel, R. Sevinik (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01)
In this paper, we study the Krall-type polynomials on non-uniform lattices. For these polynomials the second order linear difference equation, q-basic series representation and three-term recurrence relations are obtained. In particular, the q-Racah-Krall polynomials obtained via the addition of two mass points to the weight function of the non-standard q-Racah polynomials at the ends of the interval of orthogonality are considered in detail. Some important limit cases are also discussed. (C) 2011 Royal Net...
On symplectic quotients of K3 surfaces
Cinkir, Z; Onsiper, H (Elsevier BV, 2000-12-18)
In this note, we construct generalized Shioda-Inose structures on K3 surfaces using cyclic covers and almost functoriality of Shioda-Inose structures with respect to normal subgroups of a given group of symplectic automorphisms.
Isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over finite fields of characteristic two
Kırlar, Barış Bülent; Akyıldız, Ersan; Department of Mathematics (2005)
In this thesis, the work of Menezes on the isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over finite fields of characteristic two is studied. Basic definitions and some facts of the elliptic curves required in this context are reviewed and group structure of elliptic curves are constructed. A fairly detailed investigation is made for the isomorphism classes of elliptic curves due to Menezes and Schoof. This work plays an important role in Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm. In this context, those isomorphi...
