Extract

The purpose of this note is to construct a non-compact 3-manifold M with the following properties:

(i) M is orientable and irreducible

(ii) ∂M is connected and compact and its inclusion in M is a homotopy equivalence

(iii) M is not homeomorphic to ∂M × R+.

(Throughout this paper, all manifolds will be PL and all embeddings will be PL and locally flat.)
