Rational homology $3$–spheres and simply connected definite bounding

Kouki Sato and Masaki Taniguchi

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 20 (2020) 865–882
Abstract

For each rational homology 3–sphere Y which bounds simply connected definite 4–manifolds of both signs, we construct an infinite family of irreducible rational homology 3–spheres which are homology cobordant to Y but cannot bound any simply connected definite 4–manifold. As a corollary, for any coprime integers p and q, we obtain an infinite family of irreducible rational homology 3–spheres which are homology cobordant to the lens space L(p,q) but cannot be obtained by a knot surgery.
