1. Introduction: In all that follows, by a manifold we shall mean a paracompact, Hausdorff, locally Euclidean topological space. By means of the universal covering construction, the classification problem for connected manifolds splits into two parts, namely (i) classification of simply connected manifolds, (ii) classification of covering actions of groups on simply connected manifolds.
