Gluck twisting roll spun knots

Geometric Topology 2022-08-10 v1

Abstract

We show that the smooth homotopy 4-sphere obtained by Gluck twisting the m-twist n-roll spin of any unknotting number one knot is diffeomorphic to the standard 4-sphere, for any pair of integers (m,n). It follows as a corollary that an infinite collection of twisted doubles of Gompf's infinite order corks are standard.
