h-COBORDISMS AND MAPPING CYLINDER OBSTRUCTIONS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 April 2009
Abstract
In this paper we prove a realizability theorem for Quinn’s mapping cylinder obstructions for stratified spaces. We prove a continuously controlled version of the s-cobordism theorem which we further use to prove the relation between the torsion of an h-cobordism and the mapping cylinder obstructions. This states that the image of the torsion of an h-cobordism is the mapping cylinder obstruction of the lower stratum of one end of the h-cobordism in the top filtration. These results are further used to prove a theorem about the realizability of end obstructions.
