On structure sets of manifold pairs (Q846030)

This paper considers the relationships between various surgery obstruction groups for a quadruple \(Q = (X^{n}, \partial X, Y^{n-q}, \partial Y)\) where \((X,\partial X)\) and \((Y, \partial Y)\) are compact topological manifolds with boundary such that \((\partial Y \subset \partial X)\) and \((Y \subset X)\) are locally flat submanifolds with given structures on the normal bundles. The authors show that there are braids of exact sequences similar to those described by \textit{C. T. C. Wall} [Surgery on compact manifolds. 2nd ed. Mathematical Surveys and Monographs. 69. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (1999; Zbl 0935.57003)] and \textit{A. Ranicki} [Exact sequences in the algebraic theory of surgery. Mathematical Notes, 26. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press; University of Tokyo Press (1981; Zbl 0471.57012)], that relate the structure sets, homology with coefficients in the \(L\)-groups and the \(L\)-groups themselves.
