For k\geq2, determine the number of distinct S^k-bundles over S^2.

For m\geq 4, let S^1\hookrightarrow M^m be a nullhomotopic embedding. For M spin, show that there is more than one possible effect for a surgery on this embedding.

Now suppose M is simply connected. For M not spin, show that the effect of a surgery on this embedding is uniquely determined (difficult!).
