Presentations of exotic 4-manifolds
TLDR I want to see more examples of exotic $4$-manifold (hopefully connected, simply connected, oriented, and closed).
Are there known presentations of $4$-manifolds $M$ with exotic structures, whethe …

Link invariants from Hecke relations of higher order
Alexander theorem says oriented links in $\mathbb{R}^3$ can be
represented by closures of braids. Markov theorem says that
braids related by Markov moves produce isotopic braid closures,
and vice vers …

Manifolds as Cauchy completed objects
The category of smooth manifolds (SmoothMfld) can be thought of the Cauchy completion of the category $U$ of open subsets of Euclidean spaces (with smooth maps) [1]. This fact is shocking to me as it …

Mapping class group and surgery theory
Given a smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ and a diffeomorphism $\phi: M \to M$, we can construct a smooth cobordism of dimension $(n+1)$ from $M$ to $M$ by gluing $M \times [0,1]$ with itself by $\ …

Kirby's theorem for 4-manifolds
In dimension 3, we have the celebrated Kirby theorem: Let $L_1, L_2$ be two links in the 3-sphere $S^3$; then they surgeries along them produce homeomorphic 3-manifolds if and only if they are related …

Inverse Kirby knot
Given an (oriented framed) knot $K$ in the 3-sphere $S^3$, we can perform a surgery along $K$ to get another 3-manifold $M$. From $M$, we can perform the inverse surgery back to $S^3$.
However, the da …

Presentations of mapping class groups in dimension $3$
For any closed oriented surface $M$, its mapping class group $MCG(M)$ can be generated by Dehn twists along certain curves on $M$. A presentation for the group $MCG(M)$ was found in [1] and then simpl …
