Topic:
Algebraic surfaces with minimal Betti numbers
Description:
These are algebraic surfaces with the Betti numbers of the complex projective plane, and are called $Q$-homology projective planes. We describe recent progress in the study of such surfaces including smooth examples, the fake projective planes. We also discuss open questions on Montgomery-Yang problem.
