Coisotropic Luttinger surgery and some new symplectic 6-manifolds with vanishing canonical class

Abstract

We introduce a surgery operation on symplectic manifolds called coisotropic Luttinger surgery, which generalizes Luttinger surgery on Lagrangian tori in symplectic 4-manifolds. We use it to produce infinitely many distinct symplectic non-Kahler 6-manifolds $X$ with $c_1(X)=0$ which are not of the form $M\times F$ for $M$ a symplectic 4-manifold and $F$ a closed surface.
