Abstract:
Lifting concordances (pseudo-isotopies) in a smooth fibre bundle gives a transfer of stable concordance groups. Properties of the transfer are proved and exploited to obtain the homotopy structure of the group of diffeomorphisms or homeomorphisms of a manifold in a stable range.References
