Teichner have shown that surgery problems with an arbitrary fundamental group have a solution, provided they satisfy a certain condition on Dwyer's filtration on second homology. We give a new geometric proof of this result, and analyze its relation to the canonical surgery problems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-01-05T17:26:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dwyers filtration", "arbitrary fundamental group", "free fundamental groups", "canonical surgery problems", "geometric proof" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math......9225K" } } }
