Resolution conjecture for generalized manifolds
Let be a generalized -manifold, meaning a locally compact -dimensional -space that is a -homology -manifold. The space is resolvable if there is a proper surjective map from a manifold such that each fiber is contractible in every neighborhood of itself in .
Resolution conjecture. Every generalized -manifold for is resolvable.
The conjecture is true in dimension only insofar as the source says that it implies the Poincaré conjecture and that partial cases are known. It is false in higher dimensions: non-resolvable generalized -manifolds exist for every .
