Characterization of pseudo-collarable manifolds with boundary

Geometric Topology 2019-04-23 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

In this paper we obtain a complete characterization of pseudo-collarable nn-manifolds for n6n\geq 6. This extends earlier work by Guilbault and Tinsley to allow for manifolds with noncompact boundary. In the same way that their work can be viewed as an extension of Siebenmann's dissertation that can be applied to manifolds with non-stable fundamental group at infinity, our main theorem can also be viewed as an extension of the recent Gu-Guilbault characterization of completable nn-manifolds in a manner that is applicable to manifolds whose fundamental group at infinity is not peripherally stable.
