Topology of four-manifolds with special homotopy groups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Extract
We study the homotopy type and the s—cobordism class of a closed connected topological 4-manifold with vanishing second homotopy group. Our results are related to problem 4.53 of Kirby in Geometric Topology, Studies in Advanced Math. 2 (1997), and give a partial answer to a question stated by Hillman in Bull. London Math. Soc.27 (1995) 387–391.
