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…
