What is the generator of $\pi_9(S^2)$?
This is more or less the same question as
[ What is the generator of $\pi_9(S^3)$? ], except what I would like to know is if it is possible to describe this map in a way
not only topologists can mak …

Does the Gauss-Bonnet theorem apply to non-orientable surfaces?
The answer is already given in the comments (by Ryan Budney and Mizar). But I think it makes sense to clear this confusing point. The classical Gauss-Bonnet formula is [e.g. https://en.wikipedia.or …

A homeomorphism with a prescribed action on the fundamental group - decidable or not?
I am curious if the following topological problem is decidable.
Let $M,N$ be two closed manifolds. Given a group isomorphism $p: \pi_1(M)\to \pi_1(N)$, is there a homeomorphism
$\phi: M\to N$ such …

Homotopy type of a locally contractible compact
Does a locally contractible compact space have the homotopy type of a finite CW complex? (I think it probably does, but I need a reference anyway.)
EDIT: My intuition was wrong [to see why, read C.T …
