Equivariant corks

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 17 (2017) 1771–1783
Abstract

For any finite subgroup G of SO(4), we construct a contractible 4–manifold C, with an effective G–action on its boundary, that can be embedded in a closed 4–manifold so that cutting C out and regluing using distinct elements of G will always yield distinct smooth 4–manifolds.

Keywords
corks, smooth structures on 4-manifolds
