On pseudo-isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of a dimensional differentiable manifold.

Alberto Cavicchioli, Friedrich Hegenbarth (1998)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We study self-homotopy equivalences and diffeomorphisms of the (n+1)-dimensional manifold X= #p(S1 x Sn) for any n ≥ 3. Then we completely determine the group of pseudo-isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of X and extend to dimension n well-known theorems due to F. Laudenbach and V. Poenaru (1972,1973), and J. M. Montesinos (1979).

On singular cut-and-pastes in the 3-space with applications to link theory.

Fujitsugu Hosokawa, Shin'ichi Suzuki (1995)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

In the study of surfaces in 3-manifolds, the so-called ?cut-and-paste? of surfaces is frequently used. In this paper, we generalize this method, in a sense, to singular-surfaces, and as an application, we prove that two collections of singular-disks in the 3-space R3 which span the same trivial link are link-homotopic in the upper-half 4-space R3 [0,8) keeping the link fixed. Throughout the paper, we work in the piecewise linear category, consisting of simplicial complexes and piecewise linear maps....

On slice knots in the complex projective plane.

Akira Yasuhara (1992)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We investigate the knots in the boundary of the punctured complex projective plane. Our result gives an affirmative answer to a question raised by Suzuki. As an application, we answer to a question by Mathieu.

On the Betti numbers of the real part of a three-dimensional torus embedding

Jan Ratajski (1993)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let X be the three-dimensional, complete, nonsingular, complex torus embedding corresponding to a fan S 3 and let V be the real part of X (for definitions see [1] or [3]). The aim of this note is to give a simple combinatorial formula for calculating the Betti numbers of V.
