Kervaire's classification conjecture for 4-connected 10-manifolds
Kervaire's classification conjecture for 4-connected 10-manifolds
Let be a -connected closed manifold of dimension . Its -th Betti number is denoted by , and its Kervaire invariant is .
Kervaire's classification conjecture. The -th Betti number and Kervaire invariant are a complete set of invariants of the homotopy type of .
This conjecture concerns the classification of -connected closed -manifolds by homotopy type and arises from the question of whether vanishing Kervaire invariant guarantees the existence of a smooth structure. Its resolution status is not specified in the source.
