A note on some high-dimensional handlebodies

Geometric Topology 2025-02-18 v1

Abstract

For k0k \geq 0 and n2k+1n \geq 2k+1, we show that every nn-dimensional kk-handlebody is the product of a 2k2k-dimensional kk-handlebody and the standard (n2k)(n-2k)-ball. For k2k \geq 2 and n2kn \geq 2k, we introduce (n,k)(n,k)-Kirby diagrams for some nn-dimensional kk-handlebodies, where (4,2)(4,2)-Kirby diagrams correspond to the original Kirby diagrams for 44-dimensional 22-handlebodies.
