Decomposing a 4-manifold
A splitting of a manifold in Kirby’s problem list (no.4.97) is given Gauge theory provides many fake copies of oriented closed smooth manifolds X with b2 (X) odd. Unfortunately, there is no such example with b + 2 (X) even. In problem 4.97 of Kirby’s problem list [4] the author suggested possible a candidate for such an example. Here we show that our example fails to be fake. Along the way we s...
متن کاملA Hyperbolic 4-Manifold
There is a regular 4-dimensional polyhedron with 120 dodecahedra as 3-dimensional faces. (Coxeter calls it the "120-cell".) The group of symmetries of this polyhedron is the Coxeter group with diagram: For each pair of opposite 3-dimensional faces of this polyhedron there is a unique reflection in its symmetry group which interchanges them. The result of identifying opposite faces by these refl...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Decomposing Multi-dimensional Non-manifold Objects into Nearly Manifold Components
In this paper we address the problem of building valid representations for non-manifold d-dimensional objects. To this aim, we have developed a combinatorial approach based on decomposing a non-manifold d-dimensional object into an assembly of more regular components, that we call initial quasi-manifolds. We present a decomposition algorithm, whose complexity is slightly super-linear in the tot...
متن کاملConstructing a Fake 4-manifold by Gluck Construction to a Standard 4-manifold
LET S3 G S’ denote the twisted S3 bundle over S’. In this paper we will demonstrate an imbedding of a 2-sphere f:S* 4 S3 G S’ #S* x S* such that twisting S3 g S’ #S’ x S* along f(S*) (Gluck construction) produces a fake manifold M4. In fact M4 coincides with the fake S3 2 S’ #S* x S*‘s of [l] and 123. More specifically, if IV;= M-int(B3 g S’) (a fake B3 z S’ # S* x S*) and Q4 is the Cappell-Sha...
متن کاملAn Exotic 4-manifold
In [1] we have constructed a fake smooth structure on a contractible 4-manifold W relative to boundary. This is a smooth manifold V with d V = d W such that the identity map d V —• d W extends to a homeomorphism but not to a difFeomorphism V -+ W. This is a relative result in the sense that V itself is diffeomorphic to W, even though no such diffeomorphism can extend the identity map on the bou...
