Ribbon cobordisms between lens spaces

Marius Huber

Vol. 315 (2021), No. 1, 111–128
Abstract

We determine when there exists a ribbon rational homology cobordism between two connected sums of lens spaces, i.e., one without 3-handles. In particular, we show that if an oriented rational homology sphere Y admits a ribbon rational homology cobordism to a lens space, then Y must be homeomorphic to L(n,1), up to orientation-reversal. As an application, we classify ribbon χ-concordances between connected sums of 2-bridge links. Our work builds on Lisca’s work on embeddings of linear lattices.
