The purpose of the present paper is twofold: First, we give a sufficient condition for a sequence of handle-slides on framed links to be able to be replaced with a sequences of algebraically canceling pairs of handle-slides. Then, using the first result, we obtain a refinement of Kirby's calculus for integral homology spheres which involves only +/-1-framed links with zero linking numbers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-03-01T21:07:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25", "57M27" ], "keywords": [ "integral homology spheres", "refined kirby calculus", "produce orientation-preserving homeomorphic results", "framed links", "kirby states" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......9039H" } } }
