Abstract
A new method of constructing exotic 11-dimensional structures, as solu tions for the cancellation of global gravitational anomalies, is revea led. The construction makes use of link manifolds. Of relevant interes t is the fact that the geometry and topology of the exotic 11-dimensio nal manifolds are encoded in the classical invariants of knots and lin ks in dimension three.
