The algebraic results on asymmetric £-theory of Chap. 26 will now be applied to the codimension 2 surgery theory of Chap. 22 with trivial normal bundle = E2 • This will be used describe the bordism of automorphisms of manifolds in Chap. 28, the algebraic theory of open books in Chap. 29, and highdimensional knot cobordism in Chap. 33.

27A. Codimension 1 Seifert surfaces In general, a knot k : Nn c Mn+2 need not be spanned by a codimension 1 Seifert surface. The following condition ensures the existence of such a spanning surface. Definition 27.1 Let (M, 8M) be ann-dimensional manifold with boundary. A codimension 2 submanifold (N, 8N) C (M, 8M) is homology framed if it is E2 -characteristic in the sense of 22.2, that is if [N]

=

0 E Hn-2(M,8M)

and there is given a particular identification VNcM

N ~ BS0(2)

with an extension of the projection S(vNcM) projection on the exterior

27. Framed codimension 2 surgery

Remark 27.2 The homology framing condition [N] = 0 E Hn-2(M, 8M) is equivalent to the condition VNcM = f. 2 if H 2 (M)----+H 2 (N) is injective. However, in general the two conditions are not equivalent. For example, N = {pt.} c M = S 2

has VNcM = E2 , but it is not homology framed (and does not admit a Seifert surface) - in fact, N C M is 17-characteristic, with 17 : M ----+BS0(2) the Hopf bundle, such that [N]

Definition 27.3 Let (M, 8M) be ann-dimensional manifold with boundary, and let (N, 8N) c (M, 8M) be a homology framed codimension 2 submanifold with exterior (P, 8+P), so that

(i) The canonical infinite cyclic cover of the exterior (P, 8+P) is the infinite cyclic cover obtained from the universal cover lR of 8 1 by pullback along the canonical projection (p, 8+p) : (P, 8+P)----+S 1 (P,8+P) = (p,8+p)*IR,

which restricts to (N, a+N) X lR over (N, 8N) X 8 1 ~ (P, a+P). (ii) A codimension 1 Seifert surface (F, 8+F) for (N, 8N) is a codimension 1 submanifold F C P such that 8F

M (iii) A Seifert fundamental domain for the canonical infinite cyclic cover P of P is the relative cobordism (PF; i 0 F, i 1 F) obtained by cutting P along a codimension 1 Seifert surface F C P, with ik : F - t F x {0, 1} c PF ; x - t (x, k) (k = 0, 1) ,
