A note on the complexity of $h$–cobordisms

Abstract

We show that the number of double points of smoothly immersed $2$ –spheres representing certain homology classes of an oriented, smooth, closed, simply connected $4$ –manifold $X$ must increase with the complexity of corresponding $h$ –cobordisms from $X$ to $X$ . As an application, we give results restricting the minimal number of double points of immersed spheres in manifolds homeomorphic to rational surfaces.
