We use surgery along 2-tori embedded in a union of two copies of a product of
punctured 2-tori to produce a new collection of homotopy 4-spheres (4-manifolds
homotopy equivalent to $S^4$ and hence homeomorphic to $S^4$ but possibly not
diffeomorphic to $S^4$). It is still unknown if these new examples are in fact
exotic.
