The boundary Dehn twist conjecture for the Case 2 Cayley-fibration fiber
The boundary Dehn twist conjecture for the Case 2 Cayley-fibration fiber
Let be a smooth manifold homeomorphic to
Let be a small -ball. A boundary Dehn twist is the boundary-supported diffeomorphism of associated with a Dehn twist of its boundary; it is nontrivial when it represents a nontrivial mapping class. Boundary Dehn twist conjecture. The manifold admits a nontrivial boundary Dehn twist. This conjecture concerns the fiber topology arising in Case 2 of the paper's classification theorem and is closely related to the open question whether the corresponding manifolds satisfy Property (S); its status is unresolved.
