Abstract:
We construct examples of nonresolvable generalized n-manifolds, ${n \geq 6}$, with arbitrary resolution obstruction, homotopy equivalent to any simply connected, closed n-manifold. We further investigate the structure of generalized manifolds and present a program for understanding their topology.References
