Assume $M^n$ and $N^n$ are null bordant, i.e. each can be realized as boundary of an $n+1$ dimensional manifold. Suppose $M^n \times \mathbb R$ is homeomorphic to $N^n\times \mathbb R$. Is there any example shows that $M$ is NOT homeomorphic to $N$?
Cancellation law for $M^n\times \mathbb R= N^n\times \mathbb R$.
