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...
On the tight contact structures on seıfert fibred 3−manifolds with 4 singular fibers
Medetoğulları, Elif; Ozan, Yıldıray; Department of Mathematics (2010)
In this thesis, we study the classification problem of Stein fillable tight contact structures on any Seifert fibered 3−manifold M over S 2 with 4 singular fibers. In the case e0(M) · −4 we have a complete classification. In the case e0(M) ¸ 0 we have obtained upper and lower bounds for the number of Stein fillable contact structures on M.
On endomorphisms of surface mapping class groups
Korkmaz, Mustafa (Elsevier BV, 2001-05-01)
In this paper, we prove that every endomorphism of the mapping class group of an orientable surface onto a subgroup of finite index is in fact an automorphism.
Topologically massive gravity : anyon scattering, weyl-gauging and causality
Kılıçarslan, Ercan; Tekin, Bayram; Department of Physics (2017)
In this thesis, we studied the Topologically Massive Gravity (TMG) in two perspectives. Firstly, by using real scalar and abelian gauge fields, we built the Weyl-invariant extension of TMG which unifies cosmological TMG and Topologically Massive Electrodynamics (TME) with a Proca mass term. Here, we have demonstrated that the presence of (Anti)-de Sitter spaces as the background solution, spontaneously breaks the local Weyl symmetry, whereas the radiative corrections at two-loop level breaks the symmetry in...
Periodic solutions and stability of differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type
Büyükadalı, Cemil; Akhmet, Marat; Department of Mathematics (2009)
In this thesis, we study periodic solutions and stability of differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type. These equations can be divided into three main classes: differential equations with retarded, alternately advanced-retarded, and state-dependent piecewise constant argument of generalized type. First, using the method of small parameter due to Poincaré, the existence and stability of periodic solutions of quasilinear differential equations with retarded piecewise constant...
