In fact there are four such papers, one joint with Wang. jstor.org/stable/… sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/… sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/… sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/… | |
| May 27, 2021 at 15:25 | comment | added | Dave Davidson | The latter comment isn't right: the Freedman-Quinn book does contain an alternative proof of the disk embedding theorem, constructing infinite convergent towers and shrinking the holes and the gaps in the design. It is not easy going, but it is there. See also arxiv.org/abs/2006.05209. | |
