Abstract: In a previous paper, we developed general techniques for constructing a variety of pseudo-collars, as defined by Guilbault and Tinsley, with roots in earlier work by Chapman and Siebenmann. As an application of our techniques, we exhibited an uncountable collection of pseudo-collars, all with the same boundary and similar fundamental group systems at infinity. Construction of that family was very specific; it relied on properties of Thompson's group $V$. In this paper, we provide a more general approach to constructing similar collections of examples. Instead of using Thompson's group $V$, we base our new examples on a broader and more common collection of groups, in particular, fundamental groups of certain hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

Review text

Let $N^{n}$ be a compact smooth manifold. A 1-sided \(h\)-cobordim $(W,N,M)$ is a cobordism with either $N \hookrightarrow W$ or $M \hookrightarrow W$ a homotopy equivalence. A pseudo collar generalises the notion of the end of a manifold. The author shows how this kind of cobordism (or 1-sided \(s\)-cobordism) can be used to construct uncountably many pseudo-collars on closed manifolds with the same boundary.
