The exercises below are about plumbing manifolds. For the details of the construction, see the page Plumbing. In this page we use slightly different notation. For i = 1, \dots, n let N_i be a closed connected oriented manifold of dimension p_i and let

\displaystyle  \zeta_i \colon E_i \to N_i

be an oriented D^{q_i}-bundle over N_i where p_i + q_i = n is fixed and each q_i \geq 2. Let G be a graph with verticies \{v_1, \dots, v_k \} where the edge set between v_i and v_j is non-empty only if p_i = q_j and i \neq j.

Starting from the dijoint union of the total spaces E_i we form a manifolds as follows: given an edge in G connecting v_i and v_j, let x_i\in N_i and let D^q_i \times D^p_i\subseteq E_i be a neighbourhood of x_i, such that D^q_i \times \{0\}\subseteq N_i and y\times D^p_i are the fibers of E_i. Let h_{\pm}: D_i^{q_i} \rightarrow D_j^{p_j} and k_{\pm}: D_j^{p_j} \rightarrow D_i^{q_i} be orientation preserving (resp. reversing) diffeomorphisms. We define the plumbing E_i \diamond E_j of E_i and E_j at x_i and x_j by taking E_i \sqcup E_j and identifying D_i^{q_i} \times D_i^{p_i} and D_j^{q_j} \times D_j^{q_j} via

\displaystyle I_\pm(x,y)=(k_{\pm}(y), h_{\pm}(x)).

Proceeding in this way for each edge of G we obtain the plumbing manifold

\displaystyle  X := X(G; \{\zeta_i\}).

Exercise 0.1. Let X = X(G; \{\zeta_k \} be connected. Show the following:

  1. \pi_1(\partial X)\cong\pi_1(X) is free.
  2. H_i(\partial X)=H_i(X)=0 for 1<i<\text{min}\{ q_i, p_i \} ??

Hint 0.2. The statement is trivial for X, since X is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of 1-spheres and q_i-spheres. Now use van Kampen's theorem for \pi_1(\partial X) and for H_i(\partial X) use the Mayer-Vietories Sequence with \partial E_i\backslash (D_i^q\times S^{q-1}) and show that all components involved are (q-2) connected.

Exercise 0.3. Choose S^1\subseteq \partial X representing a generator of \pi_1(\partial X) and let V be the trace of a surgery on this S^1. Define X':=X\cup_{\partial X}V. Show that

  1. H_i(X')\cong H_i(X) for i\neq 1 and
  2. H_i(\partial X')\cong H_i(\partial X) for 1<i<2q-2

Hint 0.4. For (1) use the long exact sequence of the pair (X',X) and X'\simeq X\cup D^2. For (2) use the long exact sequence of the pair (V,\partial X') as well as Poincaré Duality and the Universal Coefficient Theorem.

Exercise 0.5. Assume now that each N_i = S^q and that each bundle \zeta_i is some multiple of \tau_{S^q}, the unit disc bundle of the tangent bundle of the q-sphere. Show that there is a degree 1 normal map (f,b),f:(X',\partial X')\rightarrow (D^{2q},S^{2q-1}).

Hint 0.6. Use that X is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of 1-spheres and q-spheres and that the tangent bundle of X is stabily trivial (since it is so on every component of the wedge), so that the normal bundle of (X,\partial X)\subseteq (D^{2q+k},S^{2q+k-1}) is trivial for k large. Then show that the map can be extend over V.
