Abstract

In this paper, we prove that any closed orientable 3-manifold MM other than #kS1×S2\#^k S^1\times S^2 and S3S^3 satisfies the following properties: (1) For any compact orientable 4-manifold NN bounded by MM, the inclusion does not induce an isomorphism on their fundamental groups π1\pi_1. (2) For any map f:MNf:M\to N from MM to a closed orientable 4-manifold NN, ff does not induce an isomorphism on π1\pi_1. Relevant results on higher dimensional manifolds are also obtained.
