Abstract

Isotopy Stabilization Surfaces in 4-manifolds
Any two homologous closed oriented surfaces of the same genus embedded in a smooth 4-manifold X with simply-connected complement are shown to be smoothly isotopic in X#S2×S2 if the surfaces are ordinary, and in X#S2טS2 if they are characteristic.
