Thom's finiteness conjecture for polynomial-map topological types

From papers

Let cKcK be either cCcC or cRcR, and let cPKknpcPKknp denote the space of degree-dd polynomial maps from cKncK^n to cKpcK^p, with topological type defined by composition with homeomorphisms on source and target. Thom's finiteness conjecture. For every positive integer dd and every positive integer nn, the space cPKknocPKkno gives rise to at most finitely many topological types. The conjecture is the central finiteness claim motivating the survey; the provided text does not establish whether it has been resolved.
