The first one explains a lot of the relation between Rohlin's theorem and the Kirby-Siebenmann invariant. The second explains a lot of the background to the triangulation conjecture (disproved by Manolescu). | |

By the way, one quote from it: "One can expect that mathematicians will consequently come to use freely the notions of homeomorphism and topological manifold untroubled by the frustrating difficulties that worried their early history". It was 50 years ago! | |
