Homotopy 4-spheres associated to an infinite order loose cork

Abstract: We show the homotopy spheres

S i g m a_{n} = - W s m i l e_{f^{n}} W

, formed by doubling the infinite order loose-cork

(W, f)

by iterates of the cork diffeomorphism

f : p a r t i a l W o p a r t i a l W

is

S^{4}

. To do this we first show that

S i g m a_{n}

are obtained by Gluck twistings of

S^{4}

; then from this we show how to cancel

3

-handles of

S i g m a_{n}

and identify it by

S^{4}

.
