Applications of Decomposition Theorems to Trivializing h-Cobordisms
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
A geometric proof is presented that, under certain restrictions, the product of an h-cobordism with a closed manifold of Euler characteristic zero is a product cobordism. The results utilize open book decompositions and round handle decompositions of manifolds.
