h-cobordisms of pairs

Extract
Let M and Q be closed manifolds, and write ℝ+ = [0, ∞). Our main result is that, in both the PL and topological categories, M × ℝ+ unknots in Q × ℝ+ in codimension ≥ 3 (see Theorem 1 for a precise statement). The proof is essentially a generalization of Stallings's topological unknotting of spheres(13), the main tool being engulfing.
