Inspired by this threadthis thread, which concludes that a non-singular variety over the complex numbers is naturally a smooth manifold, does anyone know conditions that imply that the topological space underlying a complex variety is a topological manifold without necessarily implying it is smooth?

Inspired by this thread, which concludes that a non-singular variety over the complex numbers is naturally a smooth manifold, does anyone know conditions that imply that the topological space underlying a complex variety is a topological manifold without necessarily implying it is smooth? Over the reals, I think $V(x^2-y^3)$ is an example.

Algebraic varieties which are topological manifolds

Inspired by this thread, which concludes that a non-singular variety over the complex numbers is naturally a smooth manifold, does anyone know conditions that imply that the topological space underlying a complex variety is a topological manifold without necessarily implying it is smooth?
