Abstract

In this paper, we compute the concordance inertia group of the product M×SkM \times \mathbb{S}^k, where MM is a simply connected, closed, smooth 6-manifold, for 1k101 \leq k \leq 10, using known low-dimensional computations of the stable homotopy groups of spheres. Specifically, for M=CP3M = \mathbb{C}P^3, we determine the inertia group of CP3×Sk\mathbb{C}P^3 \times \mathbb{S}^k for 2k7,k62 \leq k \leq 7, k \neq 6, and establish a diffeomorphism classification of all smooth manifolds homeomorphic to CP3×Sk\mathbb{C}P^3 \times \mathbb{S}^k for 1k71 \leq k \leq 7.
