Two methods are presented for constructing framed 4-manifolds with given almost framed boundaries. The main tools are the "moves" of Kirby's calculus of framed links. A new description is given for the ,u-invariant of a knot and this description is used to study almost framed 3-manifolds. 0. Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to study the types of framed 4-manifolds that a given closed, oriented 3-manifold bounds and to provide means of constructing framed 4-manifolds with a given boundary. There are six sections. ?? 1 and 2 are concerned with preliminaries. The main result of ?3 is a constructive proof of the following theorem of Milnor [8]: THEOREM 3.1 (MILNOR). Every closed, almost framed 3-manifold bounds a compact framed 4-manifold. Our point of view is to regard the given 3-manifold as the boundary of a handlebody with a zero handle and all other handles of index 2. The framed manifolds constructed can be pictured explicitly as handlebodies of this type. Our main tools are the two "moves" of Kirby's calculus of framed links [6]. As the proof involves several choices, many different framed 4-manifolds with a particular boundary can be generated. In order to illustrate the constructive aspect of the proof of Theorem 3.1, we show how to find an explicit handlebody presentation, with no handles of index 1 or 3, for a closed almost parallelizable 4-manifold with index = 16 and second betti number = 22 (Theorem 3.3). This 4-manifold is homotopy equivalent to the Kummer surface [3], an example of interest to both topologists and algebraic geometers (see Remark 3.4). The principal result of ?4 (Theorem 4.2) is a second method for finding a framed 4-manifold with given boundary. In general, these 4-manifolds have smaller index and second betti number than those constructed in ?3, but are more difficult to produce explicitly.
