A manifold is a topological space that locally resembles Euclidean space near each point. More precisely, each point of an n-dimensional manifold has a neighbourhood that is homeomorphic to the Euclidean space of dimension n.

Inverse cohomological isomorphisms
In the reverse direction, any degree $1$ map $f:M\to N$ of closed connected orientable $n$-manifolds must induce a surjection on $\pi_1$, for otherwise $f$ could be lifted to the covering space $\tilde …

Do $\mathbb{HP}^2\#\overline{\mathbb{HP}^2}$ and $\mathbb{OP}^2\#\overline{\mathbb{OP}^2}$ a...
Another way of describing the content of the previous answers is as follows. Suppose one starts with one of the Hopf bundles $p:S^{2n-1}\to S^n$ for $n=2,4,8$ coming from $\mathbb C$, $\mathbb H$, or …

Topological $n$-manifolds have the homotopy type of $n$-dimensional CW-complexes
This is a theorem on page 136 of Freedman and Quinn's book "Topology of 4-Manifolds", with a reference given to the Kirby-Siebenmann book for the higher-dimensional case. …

Closed manifold with non-vanishing homotopy groups and vanishing homology groups
As suggested by Lennart Meier, the connected sum $M=P\#P$ of two copies of the Poincaré homology sphere gives an example. The homotopy groups $\pi_n(M)$ are nonzero for all $n>1$ because the universa …
