Cancellation conjecture for nonorientable 4-manifolds with cyclic fundamental group
Cancellation conjecture for nonorientable 4-manifolds with cyclic fundamental group
Let be a closed topological nonorientable -manifold with cyclic fundamental group of order , where is odd. Theorem Cancellation Homeomorphism Classes asserts that is homeomorphic to exactly one -manifold in the specified collection, with the corresponding classification described by the theorem. Cancellation conjecture. The same conclusion should hold for without any additional copies of . This would resolve the remaining cancellation problem needed for a complete classification of these manifolds; the source describes it as a difficult algebraic problem and does not state that it has been solved.
