Description
The relation of some small exotic smooth R4 with Abelian gerbes and H-deformed generalized Hitchin's structures on S3 < 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. (author)
