Diffeomorphisms of 1-connected manifolds
Diffeomorphisms of 1-connected manifolds
WILLIAM BROWDER(') 0. Introduction.In this note we shall describe how to adapt the methods of [1] to studying the group of pseudo-isotopy classes of diffeomorphisms of 1-connected manifolds.We shall use the notation and results of [1] freely.In the first four sections we shall discuss smooth manifolds and orientation preserving diffeomorphisms, …
