The negative-equals-reverse conjecture for Schoenflies balls
The negative-equals-reverse conjecture for Schoenflies balls
Let be a Schoenflies ball, and let denote its complementary Schoenflies ball in . Write for with the opposite orientation. Negative-equals-reverse conjecture. If is a Schoenflies ball, then
Equivalently, is diffeomorphic to . The conjecture concerns whether the complementary and oppositely oriented Schoenflies balls agree, and is a problem in smooth 4- and 5-manifold topology.
