### Homotopy K3's with several symplectic structures

Stefano Vidussi

#### Abstract

In this note we prove that, for any $n∈ℕ$, there exist a smooth 4–manifold, homotopic to a $K3$ surface, defined by applying the link surgery method of Fintushel–Stern to a certain 2–component graph link, which admits $n$ inequivalent symplectic structures.
