The converse of the closed-manifold theorem for regular CW complexes
Let be a regular CW complex, and let denote its -skeleton. Converse of the closed-manifold theorem. If , then is a closed manifold. This would characterize closed manifolds among regular CW complexes by the absence of cells above dimension , complementing the paper's main theorem; the supplied text gives no evidence that the converse is resolved.
