| Nov 16, 2011 at 6:37 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | High-dimensional manifolds have handle decompositions, this is one of the standard generalizations of handlebody decompositions. Have you looked at Milnor's h-cobordism notes, or Kosinski's textbook? The manifolds $V$ and $W$ are usually described as the unions of the handles of dimension less than half that of $M$, and the corresponding dual handles respectively. | |
