What would the slice-ribbon conjecture imply?
I think of the ribbon-slice conjecture as a wish that would simplify certain 4D questions. Let me explain this in 3 examples.
Given an embedded "ribbon disk" in 4-space (where the Morse function has …

A problem/conjecture related to 4-manifolds that deserves a name. What name does it deserve?
I think that the conjecture is wrong. The following leads to counterexamples in the topological category and probably also smoothly: Take a closed oriented 4-manifold N with infinite cyclic fundamenta …

slice-ribbon for links (surely it's wrong)
Ryan, I think this is an open problem. The best related result I know is a theorem of Casson and Gordon [A loop theorem for duality spaces and fibred ribbon knots. Invent. Math. 74 (1983)] saying that …

Natural examples of finite dimensional spaces with interesting 2-type
The 2-type of a 4-manifold is an extremely interesting invariant. In fact, work of Hambleton and Kreck shows that in many cases it determines the homotopy type (if one adds the intersection form as an …

Failure of smoothing theory for topological 4-manifolds
John, if you look at chapter 8 of Freedman-Quinn's book on topological 4-manifolds, you'll find the following computation of the homotopy groups of Top(4)/O(4):
$\pi_3 = Z/2$ and $\pi_i = 0$ for $i=0 …
