Abstract

In the previous paper the author defined an infinite order plug (P,φ)(P,\varphi) which gives rise to infinite Fintushel-Stern's knot-surgeries. Here, we give two 4-dimensional infinitely many exotic families YnY_n, ZnZ_n of exotic enlargements of the plug. The families YnY_n, ZnZ_n have b2=3b_2=3, 44 and the boundaries are 3-manifolds with b1=1b_1=1, 00 respectively. We give a plug (or g-cork) twist (P,φp,q)(P,\varphi_{p,q}) producing the 2-bridge knot or link surgery by combining the plug (P,φ)(P,\varphi). As a further example, we describe a 4-dimensional twist (M,μ)(M,\mu) between knot-surgeries for two mutant knots. The twisted double concerning (M,μ)(M,\mu) gives a candidate of exotic #2S2×S2\#^2S^2\times S^2.
