Abstract

We derive an adjunction inequality for any smooth, closed, connected, oriented 4-manifold X with b⁺ = 1. This inequality depends only on the cohomology algebra and generalizes the inequality of Strle in the case of b₁ = 0. We demonstrate that the inequality is especially powerful when 2^~_χ + 3_σ ≥ 0, where ~χ is the modified Euler number taking account of the cup product on H¹(X;).
