Now suppose we know that a manifold $X$ has a decomposition $H_*(X) \simeq A \otimes ...

A link of four 2-tori $T^2$ in $S^3 \times S^1 \# S^2 \times S^2 \# S^2 \times S^2$
Step 1: We glue two sets of complement space of $D^2\times T^2$ out of the 4-sphere $S^4$, through their $T^3$ boundary to obtain a new 4-manifold:
$$(S^4 \smallsetminus D^2\times T^2) \cup (S^4 \...
