Extending Fibrations of the $3$-Torus and Applications to Torus Surgery in $4$-Manifolds
Abstract: Suppose that and $W'$ are smooth, compact, and oriented $4$-manifolds that are either diffeomorphic to times the exterior of a fibered knot in a closed, connected, orientable $3$-manifold , or are diffeomorphic to bundles over the $2$-torus with monodromy fixing the boundary of the fiber pointwise. If $f: \partial W' \to \partial W$ is an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism of the $3$-torus boundaries, we have that $X = W \cup_f W'$ is a closed, oriented $4$-manifold that fibers over . In particular, if $W' = T<sup>2</sup> \times D<sup>2$ and , then our result shows that the result of doing torus surgery in along is a $4$-manifold that fibers over . Furthermore, we extend work of Zentner by showing that the result of torus surgery along times the unknot in is diffeomorphic to times a lens space.
