Ribbon cobordisms between lens spaces

Abstract: We determine when there exists a ribbon rational homology cobordism between two connected sums of lens spaces, i.e. one without 3-handles. In particular, we show that if a lens space L admits a ribbon rational homology cobordism to a different lens space, then L must be homeomorphic to L(n,1), up to orientation-reversal. As an application, we classify ribbon chi-concordances between connected sums of 2-bridge links. Our work builds on Lisca's work on embeddings of linear lattices.
