Abstract

This thesis consists of four papers, entitled

(i) Homotopy links,
(ii) A Note on Piecewise-linear Immersions,
(iii) Open and Closed Disc Bundles,
(iv) The Space of Homeomorphisms of a 2-manifold.

In (i), we define homotopy links and caloulate them in the metastable range.

In (ii), we prove the Haefliger-Poenaru immersion theorem, using block bundles.

In (iii), we prove that 02 = PL2(I) = PL2.

In (iv), we prove that the space of PL homeomorphisms of a 2-manifold, fixed on the boundary and an interior point, has contractible identity component unless the manifold is S2 or P2.
