Title: Non-isotopic Tori in the Same Homology Class

Abstract:

The construction of an infinite family of non-isotopic symplectic tori in q[F], where F is the fiber of an elliptic fibration of E(n), for each pair n>0 and q>1 will be explained. Symplectic embeddings of such families into more general families of 4-manifolds will also be discussed.
