Title A LOCAL SIGNATURE FOR FIBERED 4-MANIFOLDS WITH A FINITE GROUP ACTION

Author Masatoshi Sato

(Received September 24, 2012)
Abstract. Let $p$ be a finite regular covering on a 2-sphere with at least three branch points. In this paper, we construct a local signature for the class of fibered 4-manifolds whose general fibers are isomorphic to the covering $p$.

Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 57N13; Secondary 14D05.
