The Poincare ball 5-ball conjecture
The Poincare ball 5-ball conjecture
From papers
A Poincare 4-ball is a contractible 4-manifold whose boundary is . A Schoenflies 4-ball is a Poincare 4-ball that embeds in . Poincare ball 5-ball conjecture. If is a Poincare ball, then
and hence is a Schoenflies ball. This conjecture is presented as the Poincare ball embedding approach to the smooth 4-dimensional Poincare conjecture and remains open.
