Annulus twist and diffeomorphic 4-manifolds

Geometric Topology 2013-01-23 v2

Abstract

We give a method for obtaining infinitely many framed knots which represent a diffeomorphic 4-manifold. We also study a relationship between the nn-shake genus and the 4-ball genus of a knot. Furthermore we give a construction of homotopy 4-spheres from a slice knot with unknotting number one.
