Extending Fibrations of the $3$-Torus and Applications to Torus Surgery in $4$-Manifolds

Published 19 Dec 2025 in math.GT | (2512.17595v1)

Abstract: Suppose that WW and $W&#39;$ are smooth, compact, and oriented $4$-manifolds that are either diffeomorphic to S<sup>1S<sup>1 times the exterior EY(K)E_Y(K) of a fibered knot KK in a closed, connected, orientable $3$-manifold YY, or are diffeomorphic to Σg,1Σ_{g,1} bundles over the $2$-torus with monodromy fixing the boundary of the fiber pointwise. If $f: \partial W&#39; \to \partial W$ is an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism of the $3$-torus boundaries, we have that $X = W \cup_f W&#39;$ is a closed, oriented $4$-manifold that fibers over S<sup>1S<sup>1. In particular, if $W&#39; = T<sup>2</sup> \times D<sup>2$ and W=S<sup>1</sup>×EY(K)W = S<sup>1</sup> \times E_Y(K), then our result shows that the result of doing torus surgery in S<sup>1×</sup>YS<sup>1\times</sup> Y along S<sup>1</sup>×KS<sup>1</sup> \times K is a $4$-manifold that fibers over S<sup>1S<sup>1. Furthermore, we extend work of Zentner by showing that the result of torus surgery along S<sup>1S<sup>1 times the unknot U\mathcal{U} in S<sup>1</sup>×S<sup>3S<sup>1</sup> \times S<sup>3 is diffeomorphic to S<sup>1S<sup>1 times a lens space.
