چکیده
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T Abstract In this paper we continue an earlier study of ends non-compact manifolds. The over-arching goal is to investigate and obtain generalizations of Siebenmann's famous collaring theorem that may be applied to manifolds having non-stable fundamental group systems at infinity. In this paper we show that, for mani-folds with compact boundary, the condition of inward tameness has substatial implications for the algebraic topology at infinity. In particular, every inward tame manifold with compact boundary has stable homology (in all dimensions) and semistable fundamental group at each of its ends. In contrast, we also construct examples of this sort which fail to have perfectly semistable fundamental group at infinity. In doing so, we exhibit the first known examples of open manifolds that are inward tame and have vanishing Wall finiteness obstruction at infinity, but are not pseudo-collarable.

Manifolds with non-stable fundamental groups at infinity
The notion of an open collar is generalized to that of a pseudo-collar. Important properties and examples are discussed. The main result gives conditions which guarantee the existence of a pseudo-collar structure on the end of an open n–manifold (n ≥ 7). This paper may be viewed as a generalization of Siebenmann’s famous collaring theorem to open manifolds with non-stable fundamental group syst...
متن کاملEnds of Manifolds: Recent Progress
In this note we describe some recent work on ends of manifolds. In particular, we discuss progress on two different approaches to generalizing Siebenmann’s thesis to include manifolds with non-stable fundamental groups at infinity.
متن کاملManifolds with non-stable fundamental groups at infinity, III
This is the third in a series of papers aimed at generalizing Siebenmann’s famous PhD thesis [13] so that the results apply to manifolds with nonstable fundamental groups at infinity. Siebenmann’s work provides necessary and sufficient conditions for an open manifold of dimension ≥ 6 to contain an open collar neighborhood of infinity, ie, a manifold neighborhood of infinity N such that N ≈ ∂N ×...
متن کاملConnectedness at infinity of systolic complexes and groups
By studying connectedness at infinity of systolic groups we distinguish them from some other classes of groups, in particular from the fundamental groups of manifolds covered by euclidean space of dimension at least three. We also study semistability at infinity for some systolic groups.
متن کاملThree-manifolds, Foliations and Circles, I Preliminary Version
A manifold M slithers around a manifold N when the universal cover of M fibers over N so that deck transformations are bundle automorphisms. Three-manifolds that slither around S are like a hybrid between three-manifolds that fiber over S and certain kinds of Seifert-fibered three-manifolds. There are examples of non-Haken hyperbolic manifolds that slither around S. It seems conceivable that ev...
