abstract

We construct an example of a cork that remains exotic after taking a connected sum with $S^2 \times S^2$. Combined with a work of Akbulut-Ruberman, this implies the existence of an exotic pair of contractible 4-manifolds which remains absolutely exotic after taking a connected sum with $S^2 \times S^2$.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. Naturality in real Heegaard Floer theory

    math.GT 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Real Heegaard Floer homology becomes a natural functor on based real 3-manifolds, with an equivariant mapping class group action and a new involutive variant.

  2. Strong corks derived from the Akbulut cork

    math.GT 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The boundaries of the AKMR and Tange cork families, and nontrivial equivariant connected sums of them, are strong corks.

  3. Exotic families of embeddings

    math.GT 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Smooth embeddings of 3-manifolds in 4-manifolds that are topologically trivial but smoothly exotic, both as individual embeddings and in families parameterized by spheres, are constructed and detected.
