Abstract:

This paper characterizes certain geometric intersection problems in terms of bordism obstructions. These obstructions give a setting in which to study such things as parametrized $h$-cobordisms (pseudoisotopy), and surgery above the middle dimension and on fibrations, where such intersection problems arise.
