Why torsion is important in (co)homology ?
Integer Pontrjagin classes are diffeomorphism invariant, while rational Pontrjagin classes are homeomorphism invariant, due to Novikov. Also there are examples where two smooth manifolds are homeomor …

How to prove the connected sum of two closed aspherical n-manfolds (n >2) is not asperical?
The intuitive idea is that the sphere connected the two manifolds is not contractible, which implies the (n-1)th homotopy group is not zero. Another argument, which I am not totally understand, uses t …

Is it true that all real projective space $RP^n$ can not be smoothly embedded in $R^{n+1}$ f...
So first for n even, $RP^n$ is not orientable, hence can not be embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.
For odd n, $RP^{n}$ is orientable, hence the normal bundle is trivial. Now using stiefel-Whitney classe …

Smooth structures on the connected sum of a manifold with an Exotic sphere
What can we say about the connected sum of a manifold $M^n$ with an Exotic sphere? Is is possible some of them are still diffemorphic to $M^n$. Is it possible to classifying all the exotic smooth stru …
