| contents | A surface $Σ$ in a 4-manifold $M$ is called flexible if any mapping class of the surface arises as the restriction of a diffeomorphism $(M,Σ) \to (M,Σ)$. We construct flexible surfaces in $\mathbb{C}P^2$ and $S^2 \times S^2$ within any prescribed non-characteristic homology class. Within characteristic homology classes there is a spin structure obstructing flexibility and we construct so-called spin-flexible representatives. |
