Are there two non-homotopy equivalent spaces with equal homotopy groups?

$S^3 \times \mathbb{R}P^2$ and $\mathbb{R}P^3 \times S^2$ are both smooth 5-manifolds with fundamental group $\mathbb{Z}/2$ and universal cover $S^3 \times S^2$, so their homotopy groups are all the s …

Are there non-compact, non-smoothable manifolds?

The Cairns-Hirsch theorem says that a PL manifold $M$ is smoothable if and only if $M\times \mathbb{R}$ is smoothable, so you can take $M$ to be any one of the known compact, PL examples such as Kerva …
