On irreducible four--manifolds
Abstract
We show that minimal symplectic 4--manifolds with b2+ >1 and with residually finite fundamental groups are irreducible. We also give examples of irreducible orientable four--manifolds with indefinite intersection forms which are not almost complex with respect to either orientation.
