Rearrangement of spherical modifications

Marvin Victor Mielke

Vol. 28 (1969), No. 1, 143–150
Abstract

A “rearrangement” theorem of Wallace states essentially that if a manifold M is the trace of a sequence of spherical modifications of various types then these modifications can be arranged so that the order in which they are performed is that of increasing type, their trace still being M. In this paper a related rearrangement problem is considered; namely, to determine bounds on how “mixed” the order of performing a sequence of modifications can be and still possess the same trace M.
