Constructions of generalized complex structures in dimension four. (English) Zbl 1260.53136

Summary: Four-manifold theory is employed to study generalized complex structures. We drastically enlarge the number of available known examples of generalized complex four-manifolds by building on recent constructions of different smooth structures. Generalized complex structures that have multiple type change loci are constructed.
