| Aug 27, 2011 at 5:15 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | I was not aware that classification is synonymous with geometrization. Can the OP please clarify whether he or she is primarily interested in geometrization, or in some other notion of classification (cf. Matt's comment above) | |
| Aug 27, 2011 at 4:12 | comment | added | j.c. | I think there is some version of geometrization for a subclass of 4-manifolds, but I don't really understand it. I have in mind the thesis of Filipkiewicz wrap.warwick.ac.uk/954/1/WRAP_THESIS_Filipkiewicz_1983.pdf Perhaps real experts can weigh in. | |

| Aug 27, 2011 at 3:31 | comment | added | Matt | If you are willing to accept "Morse" decompositions, then higher dimensional manifolds are actually easier to classify. | |
| Aug 27, 2011 at 3:24 | comment | added | user5810 | What is "Classificatoin"? | |
