Abstract: We construct handlebody diagrams of families of non-simply connected Locally
Conformally Flat(LCF)
4-manifolds realizing rich topological types, which are obtained from conformal
compactifications of the 3-manifolds, that are built
from the Panelled Web Groups. These manifolds have strictly negative scalar
curvature and the underlying topological 4-manifolds do not admit any Einstein
metrics. This is a joint work with S. Akbulut.
