Gompf's standardness conjecture for twisted doubles of infinite order corks

Let C=C(r,s;m)C=C(r,s;m) be Gompf's cork, and define the twisted double

Sr,s,m,k:=Cfk(C)=S4(C,fk).\mathbb S_{r,s,m,k}:=C\cup_{f^k}(-C)=S^4(C,f^k).

Here r,s,mr,s,m are integers with r,s>0>mr,s>0>m, and kk is a nonzero integer. Gompf's conjecture. The homotopy 4-sphere Sr,s,m,k\mathbb S_{r,s,m,k} is diffeomorphic to the standard S4S^4. The untwisted double is known to be diffeomorphic to the standard S4S^4, while the differential structures of the twisted doubles are difficult to distinguish; the statement concerns all nonzero twists.
