Abstract:
An elementary proof is given that a homeomorphism of ${B^k} \times {T^n} \operatorname {rel} \partial$ that is homotopic to the identity is pseudoisotopic to the identity $\forall k,n$. The key step is to show that each homeomorphism is pseudoisotopic to any standard finite cover.References
