Résumé : The existence or non-existence of Einstein metrics on a topological
$4$-manifold is strongly related to the differential structure considered.
We show that there exist infinitely many topological $4$-manifolds with finite cyclic fundamental group such that each manifold admits a smooth structure which supports an Einstein metric and infinitely many other structures on which no Einstein metric can exist. We complete this result with theorems about non-existence of Einstein metrics on manifolds with finitely presented fundamental group and discuss some nice corollaries.
The main tools are Seiberg-Witten theory, cyclic coverings of complex surfaces and symplectic surgeries.
