3-manifolds and 4-dimensional surgery
Abstract
Description
Let $X$ be a connected compact 3-manifold with non-empty boundary. Consider the boundary $M$ of $X\times D^2$. $M$ is a 4-dimensional closed manifold and has the same fundamental group as $X$. Various examples of $X$ are known for which a certain assembly map $A:H_4(X;L)\to L_4(π_1(X))$ is injective. For such an $X$ and any CW-spine $B$ of $X$, there is a $UV^1$-map $p:M\to B$. For any $ε>0$, if the surgery obstruction for a TOP normal map $(f,b):N\to M$ vanishes, we can perform surgery on $f$ to change it into a $p^{-1}(ε)$-controlled homotopy equivalence.
