Exotic Smooth 4-Manifolds and Gerbes as Geometry for Quantum Gravity

J. Król

The relation of some small exotic smooth  R4 with Abelian gerbes and H-deformed generalized Hitchin's structures on S3\subset R4 is discussed. Exotic smoothness of  R4 appears as some fundamental phenomenon related to string theory and which has not been taken into account yet in construction of any QG theory.
