Universal cover with one end

Suppose that $M$ is a non-compact manifold of finite topological type with one end which is the universal cover of some closed manifold $N$. Is $M $ necessarily homeomorphic to the total space of some …

Is $\mathbb{CP}^3$ minus two points the universal cover of a compact manifold?

After reading some recent questions on mathoverflow about universal coverings, I am curious about the following: Is it possible to construct a closed $6$-manifold $M$, with universal cover homeomorphi …

non-smooth manifold with circle action (with fixed points)

I am interested to know if there a non-smooth manifold (i.e. a closed topological manifold admitting no smooth structure) $M$, having a continuous action $M \times S^1 \rightarrow M$, and the number o …

3-fold of general type homeomorphic to rational 3-fold

Is there a smooth (complex projective) 3-fold of general type which is homeomorphic (in the complex topology) to a rational $3$-fold? I am aware of such examples in complex dimension $2$, for exampl …
