In this survey, the author describes geometrical and algebraic aspects of the splitting problem in the case of one-sided manifolds and relations of this problem with the modern theory of surgery. The methods of splitting along submanifolds were used by Browder and Livsay to study involutions on homotopy spheres, and in surgery theory more generally by Lopez de Medrano, Wall, Sullivan, Ranicki, Novikov, et. al. In particular, the author describes the case of one-sided manifolds where the group of obstructions to splittings is closely related to, but not a Browder-Livsay or Novikov-Wall group. The relation is performed by different exact sequences and diagrams of the Levine braid. This ensures an effective apparatus for performing different concrete computations that allow the author to make clear the construction of many mappings in \(L\)-theory. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0863.00016].
