Abstract
We use lens-shaped models and the second obstruction to pseudoisotopy to construct a nontrivial diffeomorphism of where is the connected sum of with a another nonsimply connected 3-manifold . Then we take two copies of this diffeomorphism and paste together their tops and bottoms to obtain a diffeomorphism of . Properties of the second obstruction and the first Postnikov invariant imply that this diffeomorphism of the closed 4-manifold is not isotopic to the identity. Similar results were obtain by Singh [10].
