Description

The equivalence relation of concordance on the set of links of circles in 3-space arises naturally in attempts to resolve singularities of immersed 2-spheres in a 4-dimensional manifold.

In fact, certain unsolved link concordance problems are exactly the obstructions to successfully performing surgery on 4-manifolds as the higher-dimensional theory predicts.
