On fundamental groups of spaces of (framed) embeddings of the circle in a $4$-manifold
Published 2024-07-09Version 1
Motivated by recent results on diffeomorphisms, this paper investigates fundamental groups of spaces of embeddings of $S^1$ and $S^1\times D^3$ in 4-manifolds. We express the latter (framed) case in terms of the former, and study examples of the form $M\# S^1\times S^3$ in detail.
