A plug with infinite order and some exotic 4-manifolds

Abstract

Every exotic pair in 4-dimension is obtained each other by twisting a cork or plug which are codimension 0 submanifolds embedded in the 4-manifolds. The twist was an involution on the boundary of the submanifold. We define cork (or plug) with order p∈ N \∞\ and show there exists a plug with infinite order. Furthermore we show twisting (P,2) gives to enlargements of P compact exotic manifolds with boundary.
