Abstract

We present an algorithmic and combinatorial proof of the following well-known theorem, originally proved by Rohlin: `Every closed orientable 3-manifold $M^3$ bounds a simply connected orientable 4-manifold $M^4$.' More precisely, an edge-coloured graph representing $M^4$ is obtained as the final result of a finite and well-determined sequence of `admissible moves', starting from any given edge-coloured graph representing $M^3$.
