This paper studies the rational homotopy groups of the group $mathrm{Diff}(S^4)$ of self-diffeomorphisms of $S^4$ with the $C^infty$-topology. We present a method to prove that there are many `exotic non-trivial elements in $pi_*mathrm{Diff}(S^4)otimes mathbb{Q}$ parametrized by trivalent graphs. As a corollary of the main result, the 4-dimensional Smale conjecture is disproved. The proof utilizes Kontsevichs characteristic classes for smooth disk bundles and a version of clasper surgery for families. In fact, these are analogues of Chern--Simons perturbation theory in 3-dimension and clasper theory due to Goussarov and Habiro.
In this addendum, we give a differential form interpretation of the proof of the main theorem of arXiv:1812.02448, which gives lower bounds of the dimensions of $pi_k(Bmathrm{Diff}(D^4,partial))otimesmathbb{Q}$ in terms of the dimensions of Kontsevic
We show that the homotopy type of a finite oriented Poincar{e} 4-complex is determined by its quadratic 2-type provided its fundamental group is finite and has a dihedral Sylow 2-subgroup. By combining with results of Hambleton-Kreck and Bauer, this
In this article, we construct countably many mutually non-isotopic diffeomorphisms of some closed non simply-connected 4-manifolds that are homotopic to but not isotopic to the identity, by surgery along $Theta$-graphs. As corollaries of this, we obt
This is a collection of notes on embedding problems for 3-manifolds. The main question explored is `which 3-manifolds embed smoothly in the 4-sphere? The terrain of exploration is the Burton/Martelli/Matveev/Petronio census of triangulated prime clos
The notion of $times$-homotopy from cite{DocHom} is investigated in the context of the category of pointed graphs. The main result is a long exact sequence that relates the higher homotopy groups of the space $Hom_*(G,H)$ with the homotopy groups of
