The 4-Dimensional Light Bulb Theorem (after David Gabai)
Robert D. Edwards
In this note I present my understanding of, that is to say the way I look at, David Gabai's proof of his recent 4-Dimensional Light Bulb Theorem (4D-LBT). His construction, entirel…
Approximating certain cell-like maps by homeomorphisms
Robert D. Edwards
Given a proper map f : M Q, having cell-like point-inverses, from a manifold-without-boundary M onto an ANR Q, it is a much-studied problem to find when f is approxim…
