| Feb 10, 2010 at 17:52 | comment | added | Ilya Grigoriev | My favorite reference regarding surgeries is Milnor's book "Lectures on the h-cobordism theorem". It's hard to find, but I think there is something on gigapedia, and hopefully it's in your library. It's one of the best math books I've ever read but, unfortunately, it has a lot of typos, so be wary. (Also, some arguments are longer than would be absolutely necessary today, for example it reproves cellular homology). | |
