Abstract

In this paper we construct a coordinate atlas in an exotic R4\mathbb{R}^{4} using Bizaca's construction. The main source for such an atlas is the handle body decomposition of a Casson handle, which of course is an infinite, but periodic, process. The immersion of the end-periodic manifold into R4\mathbb{R}^{4} is directly related to the exoticness of the R4\mathbb{R}^{4} and also gives rise naturally to a spinor field. Thus we obtain the interesting result that the simplest exotic R4\mathbb{R}^{4} generates an extra spinor field by exoticness.
