Feb 17, 2010 at 21:07 comment added Igor Belegradek You seem to be saying that contractible n-manifolds that are not homeomorphic to Euclidean space exist only in dimension 3. This is not true. For example there are tons of homology spheres in higher dimensions and each of them bounds a contractible manifold. There are also many contractible manifolds that are not interiors of manifolds with boundary.
