Hambleton and Kreck constructed a braid to study the group of homotopy self-equivalences of $4$-manifolds. Using this braid together with the modified surgery theory of Kreck, we give an $s$-cobordism classification for certain $4$-manifolds with fundamental group $\\pi$, such that cd $\\pi \\leq 2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-06T10:23:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57N13", "55P10", "57R80" ], "keywords": [ "homotopy self-equivalences", "s-cobordism classification", "standard invariants", "modified surgery theory", "fundamental group" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150101128H" } } }
