Freedman's controlled Mather–Thurston conjecture
Freedman's controlled Mather–Thurston conjecture
Let be a manifold with . Let be a bundle with structure group , where is a manifold with a point-set metric, and suppose the bundle has near a topologically flat connection whose holonomy lies in . Let be any norm-topology neighborhood of in . Freedman's controlled Mather–Thurston conjecture. There exists a one-sided -cobordism , constant near , covered by a bundle with structure group to a bundle possessing a topologically flat connection inducing a representation such that for some generating set for . The conjecture is proposed as an extension of Freedman's result; the source does not establish it in the stated generality.
