Abstract

In the study of homology cobordisms, knot concordance and link concordance, the following technical problem arises frequently: let π be a group and let M → N be a homomorphism between projective Z [ π ] -modules such that Z p ⊗ Z [ π ] M → Z p ⊗ Z [ π ] N is injective; for which other right Z [ π ] -modules V is the induced map V ⊗ Z [ π ] M → V ⊗ Z [ π ] N also injective? Our main theorem gives a new criterion which combines and generalizes many previous results.
