Higher simple structure sets of lens spaces with the fundamental group of order $2^K$

Abstract

Extending work of many authors we calculate the higher simple structure sets of lens spaces in the sense of surgery theory in the case when the fundamental group has order a power of $2$. As a corollary we also obtain a calculation of the simple structure set of the products of lens spaces and spheres of dimension grater or equal to $3$ in this case.
