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.
