Cell structure of connected sum of complex projective planes












0












$begingroup$


I am trying to find a cell structure for the connected sum $mathbb{C}P^2# mathbb{C}P^2$.



My approach is the following:




  1. Find a cellular structure for $mathbb{C}P^2- text{int}(D^4)$ where $D^4$ is a $4$-disc.


I know that $mathbb{C}P^2= mathbb{C}P^1 cup_{pi} D^4$, where $pi$ is the projection map. $mathbb{C}P^1$ is homeomorphic to $S^2$, so it has $2$ $0$-cells, $2$ $1$-cells and $2$ $2$-cells.



So $mathbb{C}P^2$ has $2$ $0$-cells, $2$ $1$-cells, $2$ $2$-cells and $1$ $4$-cell.



I think that by assuming that $D^4$ is in the interior of the $4$-cell, $mathbb{C}P^2- text{int}(D^4)$ would have the cell structure of $mathbb{C}P^1$ by gluing $e_{4}-text{int}(D^4)$, where $e_{4}$ is the $4$-cell.



$e_{4}-text{int}(D^4)$ has $4$ $0$-cells, $6$ $1$-cells, $6$ $2$-cells, $6$ $3$-cells and $2$ $4$-cells (I think).



My first problem is: when gluing that to $mathbb{C}P^1$, which cells do I loose? Do I loose all the cells of $mathbb{C}P^1$?



If yes, $mathbb{C}P^2- text{int}(D^4)$ would have $2$ $0$-cells, $4$ $1$-cells, $4$ $2$-cells, $6$ $3$-cells and $2$ $4$-cells.




  1. In this case, when gluing the boundaries $S^3$, would I loose the cells of one of the $S^3$'s? (because they are identified).


So would I have {$2$ $0$-cells, $4$ $1$-cells, $4$ $2$-cells, $6$ $3$-cells and $2$ $4$-cells} $cup$ {$2$ $0$-cells, $4$ $1$-cells, $4$ $2$-cells, $6$ $3$-cells and $2$ $4$-cells}- {$2$ $0$-cells, $2$ $1$-cells, $2$ $2$-cells, $2$ $3$-cells}? (I know that the notation is horrible, but it is to explain myself better)



Thank you in advance!!
