Cet article est un exposé du travail de l’auteur sur la “seconde” obstruction à la déformation d’une pseudo-isotopie sur une variété différentiable compacte en une isotopie. Avec des résultats antérieurs sur la “première” obstruction dus indépendamment à J.B. Wagnoner et l’auteur, la généralisation du théorème de la pseudo-isotopie de J. Cerf au cas non simplement connexe est achevée.

This paper gives an expository account of the author’s work on the “second” obstruction to deforming a pseudo-isotopy on a smooth compact manifold to an isotopy. Using earlier results on the “first” obstruction, due independently to J.B. Wagoner and the author, this completes the generalization of J. Cerf’s pseudo-isotopy theorem to the non-simply-connected case.
