On manifolds homotopy equivalent to RP^4#RP^4


Abstract

Using recent calculations of certain surgery obstuction groups by Connolly, Ranicki and Davis, one can construct infinitely many topologically different manifolds of the homotopy type of RP^4#RP^4. In this talk I'll discuss these manifolds, and in particular address the question of how these differences persist under various kinds of stabilizations. This is joint work with Slawomir Kwasik.
