Local moves on knots and products of knots II
read the original abstract
We use the terms, knot product and local move, as defined in the text of the paper. Let $n$ be an integer$\geqq3$. Let $\mathcal S_n$ be the set of simple spherical $n$-knots in $S^{n+2}$. Let $m$ be an integer$\geqq4$. We prove that the map $j:\mathcal S_{2m}\to\mathcal S_{2m+4}$ is bijective, where $j(K)=K\otimes$Hopf, and Hopf denotes the Hopf link. Let $J$ and $K$ be 1-links in $S^3$. Suppose that $J$ is obtained from $K$ by a single pass-move, which is a local-move on 1-links. Let $k$ be a positive integer. Let $P\otimes^kQ$ denote the knot product $P\otimes\underbrace{Q\otimes...\otimes Q}_k$. We prove the following: The $(4k+1)$-dimensional submanifold $J\otimes^k{\rm Hopf}$ $\subset S^{4k+3}$ is obtained from $K\otimes^k{\rm Hopf}$ by a single $(2k+1,2k+1)$-pass-move, which is a local-move on $(4k+1)$-submanifolds contained in $S^{4k+3}$. See the body of the paper for the definitions of all local moves in this abstract. We prove the following: Let $a,b,a',b'$ and $k$ be positive integers. If the $(a,b)$ torus link is pass-move equivalent to the $(a',b')$ torus link, then the Brieskorn manifold $\Sigma(a,b,\underbrace{2,...,2}_{2k})$ is diffeomorphic to $\Sigma(a',b',\underbrace{2,...,2}_{2k})$ as abstract manifolds. Let $J$ and $K$ be (not necessarily connected or spherical) 2-dimensional closed oriented submanifolds in $S^4$. Suppose that $J$ is obtained from $K$ by a single ribbon-move, which is a local-move on 2-dimensional submanifolds contained in $S^4$. Let $k$ be an integer$\geq2$. We prove the following: The $(4k+2)$-submanifold $J\otimes^k{\rm Hopf}$ $\subset S^{4k+4}$ is obtained from $K\otimes^k{\rm Hopf}$ by a single $(2k+1,2k+2)$-pass-move, which is a local-move on $(4k+2)$-dimensional submanifolds contained in $S^{4k+4}$.
