Desuspending involutions on S1 x Sn. Concordance classes of homeomorphisms of S1 x R Pn
by Todorov, Todor, Ph.D., TULANE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, 2011, 68 pages; 3495312

Abstract:

This dissertation is mostly devoted to the study of concordance classes of S¹ × [special characters omitted]Pn. For the goal of our research, we first obtain the topological structure of S¹ × [special characters omitted]Pn × I and the structure of the first concordance group of Aut( S¹ × [special characters omitted]Pn) which help reveal the structure of the concordance classes of the block automorphism group [special characters omitted](S¹ × [special characters omitted]Pn). The last result allows us to obtain the structure of π1([special characters omitted](S¹ × [special characters omitted]Pn)). We continue by examining the concordance classes of S¹ × Sn and studying the correspondence between the concordance classes of S¹ × Sn and S¹ × [special characters omitted]Pn.
