Jul 18, 2017 at 12:19 comment added Ali Taghavi @მამუკაჯიბლაძე That is a very interesting question. May be another question: Is there a compact manifold with polynomial transition maps but its Euler characteristic is non zero?

Jul 18, 2017 at 10:29 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე The Wikipedia page that you link to shows that there are lots of (necessarily non-simply connected but) very natural and important examples of compact manifolds with not only polynomial but even affine transition maps, like e. g. flat tori. I find it very interesting question whether there are any essentially non-affine examples, i. e. compact manifolds which do not admit atlases with affine transition maps but admit atlases with some higher degree polynomial transition maps.
