3-manifolds that bound no definite 4-manifold

Marco Golla, Kyle Larson

We produce a rational homology 3-sphere that does not smoothly bound either a positive or negative definite 4-manifold. Such a 3-manifold necessarily cannot be rational homology co…

Surgeries on torus knots, rational balls, and cabling

Paolo Aceto, Marco Golla, Kyle Larson +1

We classify which positive integral surgeries on positive torus knots bound rational homology balls. Additionally, for a given knot K we consider which cables K(p,q) admit integral…

Lattices and correction terms

Kyle Larson

Let L be a nonunimodular definite lattice. Using a theorem of Elkies we show that whether L embeds in the standard definite lattice of the same rank is completely determined by a c…

Linear independence in the rational homology cobordism group

Marco Golla, Kyle Larson

We give simple homological conditions for a rational homology 3-sphere Y to have infinite order in the rational homology cobordism group, and for a collection of rational homology…

Brieskorn spheres bounding rational balls

Selman Akbulut, Kyle Larson

Fintushel and Stern showed that the Brieskorn sphere bounds a rational homology ball, while its non-trivial Rokhlin invariant obstructs it from bounding an integral homo…

Embedding 3-manifolds in spin 4-manifolds

Paolo Aceto, Marco Golla, Kyle Larson

An invariant of orientable 3-manifolds is defined by taking the minimum such that a given 3-manifold embeds in the connected sum of copies of , and we call…

Knot concordance and homology sphere groups

Paolo Aceto, Kyle Larson

We study two homomorphisms to the rational homology sphere group. If denotes the inclusion homomorphism from the integral homology sphere group, then using work of Lisca we sho…

Surgery on tori in the 4-sphere

Kyle Larson

We investigate the operation of torus surgery on tori embedded in . Key questions include which 4-manifolds can be obtained in this way, and the uniqueness of such description…

Fibered ribbon disks

Kyle Larson, Jeffrey Meier

We study the relationship between fibered ribbon 1-knots and fibered ribbon 2-knots by studying fibered slice disks with handlebody fibers. We give a characterization of fibered ho…

Generic fibrations around multiple fibers

Kyle Larson

Given some type of fibration on a 4-manifold with a torus regular fiber , we may produce a new 4-manifold by performing torus surgery on . There is a natural way to…
