Diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds from graspers
Published 9 May 2024 in math.GT | (2405.05822v3)
Abstract: We relate degree one grasper families of embedded circles to various constructions of diffeomorphisms found in the literature -- theta clasper classes of Watanabe, barbell diffeomorphisms of Budney and Gabai, and twin twists of Gay and Hartman. We use a ``parameterised surgery map'' that for a smooth 4-manifold $M$ takes loops of framed embeddings of $S1$ in the manifold obtained by surgery on some 2-sphere in $M$, to the mapping class group of $M$.
