Surgery and handle straightening in Hilbert cube manifolds
The main result of this paper establishes an infinite dimensional version of the finite-dimensional handle straightening result of Kirby-Siebenmann.In order to do this a procedure is developed for doing surgery on infinite-dimensional manifolds.These results are used elsewhere to prove that every compact Hubert cube manifold can be triangulated and to …
