Abstract

We construct GG-corks for any extension GG of Zm\mathbb Z^m by any finite subgroup of SO(4)\mathrm{SO}(4) and weakly equivariant GG-corks for any extension GG of Zm\mathbb Z^m by any finite solvable group. In particular, this is the first example of GG-corks for an infinite nonabelian group GG and answers a question by Tange. The construction is a combination of previous results by Auckly-Kim-Melvin-Ruberman, Gompf, and Tange. Using Gompf's results about exotic R4\mathbb R^4's, we give an application to construct exotic R4\mathbb R^4's whose diffeotopy group contains all poly-cyclic groups.
