abstract
In this article, we construct countably many mutually non-isotopic diffeomorphisms of some closed non simply-connected 4-manifolds that are homotopic to but not isotopic to the identity, by surgery along $\Theta$-graphs. As corollaries of this, we obtain some new results on codimension 1 embeddings and pseudo-isotopies of 4-manifolds. In the proof of the non-triviality of the diffeomorphisms, we utilize a twisted analogue of Kontsevich's characteristic class for smooth bundles, which is obtained by extending a higher dimensional analogue of March\'{e}--Lescop's "equivariant triple intersection" in configuration spaces of 3-manifolds to allow Lie algebraic local coefficient system.

Pseudo-isotopy versus isotopy for homeomorphisms of 4-manifolds
A topological version of the Hatcher-Wagoner pseudo-isotopy obstructions is defined in dimension four and used to construct homeomorphisms of Y times S1 that are pseudo-isotopic but not isotopic to the identity.

Families of diffeomorphisms, embeddings, and positive scalar curvature metrics via Seiberg-Witten theory
A new gluing theorem for parameterized Seiberg-Witten invariants gives infinite rank Z^∞ summands in higher homotopy and homology of diffeomorphism groups of 4-manifolds that are topologically trivial.

On the mapping class groups of 4-manifolds with 1-handles
If M is the boundary connected sum of S^1×D^3 with an aspherical or I×Y 4-manifold, then the center of the mapping class group of M has infinite rank.

Exotic families of embeddings
Smooth embeddings of 3-manifolds in 4-manifolds that are topologically trivial but smoothly exotic, both as individual embeddings and in families parameterized by spheres, are constructed and detected.
