- Let be the complex plane bundle with Euler number . Explain how to obtain the sphere-bundle via surgery on .
- For , let be a nullhomotopic embedding. For

spin, show that there is more than one possible effect for a surgery on this embedding. Now supposeTex syntax error

not spin, show that the effect of a surgery on this embedding is uniquely determined (difficult!).
