Smooth Classification

We work in the smooth category. Let $N$ be a closed connected orientable 4-manifold with torsion free $H_1$ , where $H_q := H_q(N; {\mathbb Z} )$ . Our main result is a readily calculable classification of embeddings $N \to {\mathbb R}^7$ up to isotopy, with an indeterminacy. Such a classification was only known before for $H_1=0$ by our earlier work from 2008. Our classification is complete when $H_2=0$ or when the signature of $N$ is divisible neither by 64 nor by 9. The group of knots $S^4\to {\mathbb R}^7$ acts on the set of embeddings $N\to {\mathbb R}^7$ up to isotopy by embedded connected sum. In Part I we classified the quotient of this action. The main novelty of this paper is the description of this action for $H_1 \ne 0$ , with an indeterminacy. Besides the invariants of Part I, detecting the action of knots involves a refinement of the Kreck invariant from our work of 2008. For $N=S^1\times S^3$ we give a geometrically defined 1–1 correspondence between the set of isotopy classes of embeddings and a certain explicitly defined quotient of the set ${\mathbb Z} \oplus {\mathbb Z} \oplus {\mathbb Z} _{12}$ .

1. Introduction: In all that follows, by a manifold we shall mean a paracompact, Hausdorff, locally Euclidean topological space. By means of the universal covering construction, the classification problem for connected manifolds splits into two parts, namely (i) classification of simply connected manifolds, (ii) classification of covering actions of groups on simply connected manifolds.

Abstract Let $\pi$ be a group satisfying the Farrell–Jones conjecture and assume that $B\pi$ is a 4-dimensional Poincaré duality space. We consider topological, closed, connected manifolds with fundamental group $\pi$ whose canonical map to $B\pi$ has degree 1, and show that two such manifolds are s-cobordant if and only if their equivariant intersection forms are isometric and they have the same Kirby–Siebenmann invariant. If $\pi$ is good in the sense of Freedman, it follows that two such manifolds are homeomorphic if and only if they are homotopy equivalent and have the same Kirby–Siebenmann invariant. This shows rigidity in many cases that lie between aspherical 4-manifolds, where rigidity is expected by Borel’s conjecture, and simply connected manifolds where rigidity is a consequence of Freedman’s classification results.

Surgery theory and the classification of simply connected 4-manifolds comprise two key consequences of the disc embedding theorem. The chapter begins with an introduction to surgery theory from the perspective of 4-manifolds. In particular, the terms and maps in the surgery sequence are defined, and an explanation is given as to how the sphere embedding theorem, with the added ingredient of topological transversality, can be used to define the maps in the surgery sequence and show that it is exact. The surgery sequence is applied to classify simply connected closed 4-manifolds up to homeomorphism. The chapter closes with a survey of related classification results.

The development of topological 4-manifold theory is described in the form of a flowchart showing the interdependence among many key statements in the theory. In particular, the flowchart demonstrates how the theory crucially relies on the constructions in this book, what goes into the work of Quinn on smoothing, normal bundles, and transversality, and what is needed to deduce the famous consequences, such as the classification of closed, simply connected, topological 4-manifolds, the category preserving Poincaré conjecture, and the existence of exotic smooth structures on 4-dimensional Euclidean space. Precise statements of the results, brief indications of some proofs, and extensive references are provided.

Abstract We study irreducible spherical unitary representations of the Drinfeld double of the q-deformation of a connected simply connected compact Lie group, which can be considered as a quantum analogue of the complexification of the Lie group. In the case of \mathrm{SU}_{q}(3) , we give a complete classification of such representations. As an application, we show the Drinfeld double of the quantum group \mathrm{SU}_{q}(2n+1) has property (T), which also implies central property (T) of the dual of \mathrm{SU}_{q}(2n+1) .
