Homology braid II (Ex)
1) Let
be a cobordism of
-complexes. Show that the commuting diagram
![\displaystyle \xymatrix{M^\prime \ar[dr] \ar[rr] && W/M \\ & W \ar[ur] & }](/images/math/c/c/5/cc50854c00a1432e44166f7b4afcb2a3.png)
induces a commutative diagram of cofibre sequences
![\displaystyle \xymatrix{ M^\prime \ar[dr] \ar@/^2pc/[rr] && W/M \ar[dr] \ar@/^2pc/[rr] && \Sigma M \\ & W \ar[dr] \ar[ur] && W/M\cup M^\prime \ar[dr] \ar[ur] && \\ M \ar[ur] \ar@/_2pc/[rr] && W/M^\prime \ar[ur] \ar@/_2pc/[rr] && \Sigma M^\prime \\ }](/images/math/3/a/9/3a9cec9f550f90a4b00ca75f66c7a324.png)
and hence a commutative braid of long exact sequences in Homology
![\displaystyle \xymatrix{ H_*(M^\prime) \ar[dr] \ar@/^2pc/[rr] && H_*(W/M) \ar[dr] \ar@/^2pc/[rr] && H_{*-1}(M) \\ & H_*(W) \ar[dr] \ar[ur] && H_*(W/M\cup M^\prime) \ar[dr] \ar[ur] && \\ H_*(M) \ar[ur] \ar@/_2pc/[rr] && H_*(W/M^\prime) \ar[ur] \ar@/_2pc/[rr] && H_{*-1}(M^\prime) \\ }](/images/math/d/2/f/d2f7716cb2de025aa6d7ceef9430b79b.png)
2) Now let
be a closed
-dimensional manifold and
a framed embedding. Denote by
the effect of a surgery on
and by
the corresponding trace, i.e.


Denote by
the orientation character of
, i.e.
and by
the corresponding universal covers. Write
etc. for the homology with
-coefficients.
Show that there exists a commutative braid of exact sequences
![\displaystyle \def\curv{1.5pc}% Adjust the curvature of the curved arrows here \xymatrix@!R@!C@!0@R=2.5pc@C=4pc{% Adjust the spacing here H_{i+1}(\widetilde{W},\widetilde{M}) \ar[dr] \ar@/u\curv/[rr] && H_{i}(\widetilde{M}) \ar[dr] \ar@/u\curv/[rr] && H_{i}(\widetilde{W},\widetilde{M}') \\ & H_{i+1}(\widetilde{W},\widetilde{M}\cup\widetilde{M}') \ar[dr] \ar[ur] && H_{i}(\widetilde{W}) \ar[dr] \ar[ur] \\ H_{i+1}(\widetilde{W},\widetilde{M}') \ar[ur] \ar@/d\curv/[rr] && H_{i}(\widetilde{M}') \ar[ur] \ar@/d\curv/[rr] && H_{i}(\widetilde{W},\widetilde{M}) }](/images/math/0/a/c/0ac9ff3212a207c04f3a508a8ca3d33b.png)
3) Show that the relative homology modules are given by
![\displaystyle H_{i}(\widetilde{W},\widetilde{M})=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \mathbb{Z}[\pi] & \textrm{if } i=k+1\\ 0 & \textrm{otherwise}\\ \end{array}\right.](/images/math/e/8/d/e8d19e3beaabd10875a353c3e092aa59.png)
![\displaystyle H_{i}(\widetilde{W},\widetilde{M}')=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \mathbb{Z}[\pi] & \textrm{if } i=n-k\\ 0 & \textrm{otherwise}\\ \end{array}\right.](/images/math/4/e/9/4e94c69a1a666a2a0ca4ccabfb9874f9.png)
4)Assume
and look at the top bit of the braid
![\displaystyle \def\curv{1.5pc}% Adjust the curvature of the curved arrows here \xymatrix@!R@!C@!0@R=2.5pc@C=4pc{% Adjust the spacing here H_{k+1}(\widetilde{W},\widetilde{M}) \ar@/u\curv/[rr]^{\alpha} && H_{k}(\widetilde{M}) \ar@/u\curv/[rr]^{\beta} && H_{k}(\widetilde{W},\widetilde{M}') }](/images/math/2/7/5/275314403ddad07c18535bfb6e0827bf.png)
Let
be the Hurewicz image of

being the restriction of the framed embedding we do the surgery on.
a) Verify that

b) Verify that
is (geometrically) given by sending a class
to its (equivariant) homology intersection with
,
