Let M be a closed n-dimensional manifold and g:S^k\times D^{n-k}\hookrightarrow M a framed embedding. Denote by M' the effect of a surgery on M and by W the corresponding trace, i.e.

\displaystyle  M'=\overline{M\setminus g(S^n\times D^{n-k})}\cup D^{k+1}\times S^{n-k-1},
\displaystyle  W=M\times I\cup D^{k+1}\times D^{n-k}.

Denote by \omega the orientation character of M, i.e. \omega:\pi=\pi_1(M)\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_2 and by \widetilde{W},\widetilde{M},\widetilde{M}' the corresponding universal covers. Write H_i(\widetilde{M}) etc. for the homology with \mathbb{Z}[\pi]-coefficients.

  1. Show that there exist 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})  }
  1. Show that the relative homology groups 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.
\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.
  1. Assume n=2k 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}') }

Let x be the Hurewicz image of [g|] with g|:S^{k}\times 0\hookrightarrow M being the restriction of the framed embedding we do the surgery on.\\ a)Verify that \alpha is (geometrically) given by sending the generator 1 to x.\\ b)Verify that \beta is (geometrically) given by sending a class y to its (equivariant) homology intersection with x, \lambda(x,y)\in\mathbb{Z}[\pi].
