Stable diffeomorphism conjecture for torsion-free fundamental groups
Stable diffeomorphism conjecture for torsion-free fundamental groups
Let and be closed, orientable, smooth -manifolds that are homotopy equivalent and have torsion-free fundamental group. Stable diffeomorphism conjecture. Then and are stably diffeomorphic, meaning that for some non-negative integers and , is diffeomorphic to . This is known in the simply connected case and for many classes of fundamental groups, but is not established for all torsion-free groups.
