Normal-Euler excess for disjoint nonorientable surfaces in a closed -manifold
Bennett Chow, Michael Freedman
Let \(M\) be a closed connected oriented topological \(4\)-manifold. We prove that if \(F_1,\dots,F_r\subset M\) are pairwise disjoint connected locally flat topologically embedded…

A triple torsion linking form and 3-manifolds in
Michael Freedman, Vyacheslav Krushkal
Given a rational homology 3-sphere , we introduce a triple linking form on , defined when the classical torsion linking pairing of three homology classes van…
