Allen E. Hatcher, The second obstruction for pseudo-isotopies. Bull.
Amer. Math. Soc. 78 (1972), 1005-1008. This is an announcement of the theorem
that appeared as Part II of the next item below. (The proof has a
mistake -- see below.)
Allen Hatcher and John Wagoner, Pseudo-isotopies of compact
manifolds.
Asterisque, No. 6. Soc. Math. de France,
Paris, 1973. 275 pp. There is a mistake (actually
two closely related mistakes) in Part II of this volume, which is not
joint with Wagoner. A corrected version of the theorem was
published in a paper by Kiyoshi Igusa in Springer LNM vol. 1046.
Allen E. Hatcher, Concordance and isotopy of smooth embeddings in
low
codimensions. Invent. Math. 21 (1973), 223-232. The mistake in the preceding
paper affects this one as well, but this was a dead-end paper so it
doesn't much matter.

(1975),
101-137. This paper is well-known to have serious flaws. One of the
smaller blemishes is a clear mistake in a proof that was corrected
without too much trouble by Kiyoshi Igusa in his 1988 paper "The
stability theorem for smooth pseudoisotopies". More fundamentally, the
whole paper is far too sketchy on technical details, and these are not
easy to fill in. Considerable effort has been expended by
quite a few people to give complete and correct arguments for the main
results claimed in the paper (for smooth manifolds rather than the PL
manifolds in the paper). Waldhausen's algebraic K-theory of
topological spaces gives a much better version of what I was attempting
to do in this paper, and goes much, much farther as well.

For some reason the publication of this paper was considerably delayed. I have notes of talks I gave on it in 1979, and the 1982 paper with Bill Floyd making a similar analysis for punctured-torus bundles was a follow-up to this one. This paper with Thurston contains what may be the first appearance of the Farey diagram in the low-dimensional topology literature, although it has become nearly ubiquitous since then. The diagram itself seems to have been discovered by Hurwitz and appears in one of his papers in the 1890s. I once tried to find other occurrences of the diagram between Hurwitz's paper and ours, without success. Long after our paper was written I asked Thurston what he knew of the history of the diagram and he said it was just something people knew about.

There are several errors in the tables at the end of this paper, as pointed out by Nathan Dunfield who compiled corrected tables using a different computer program. See his paper "A table of boundary slopes of Montesinos knots" in Topology 40 (2001), 309-315. The errors stem from our use of the Remark preceding Proposition 2.7 on page 473 of our paper. This Remark claimed to give conditions equivalent to those in Propositions 2.6 and 2.7, but in fact the conditions in the Remark are not equivalent to those in the Propositions.

The major mistake, not easily repaired, is in a spectral sequence argument near the end of the paper. This invalidates the proof of the main theorem of the paper. The first correct proof using a different spectral sequence argument
appeared in my 1998 paper with Karen Vogtmann, "Cerf theory for
graphs", listed below. The minor mistake is in the proof of Proposition 3.1 where the first sentence of the second paragraph is wrong. The fix is easy and is given in Proposition 3.2 of my 2005 paper with Nathalie Wahl listed below.
