Notes on Gompf's infinite order corks

Abstract

For any positive integer nn we give a Zn{\mathbb Z}^n-cork with a Zn{\mathbb Z}^n-effective embedding in a 4-manifold being homeomorphic to E(n)E(n). This means that a cork gives a subset Zn{\mathbb Z}^n in the differential structures on E(n)E(n). Further, we describe handle decompositions of the twisted doubles (homotopy S4S^4) of Gompf's infinite order corks and show that they are Gluck twists and log transforms of S4S^4.
