Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
The following Conjecture was made in (6).
CONJECTURE A. Let Xn be a closed manifold of type K(π, 1). Then X˜n is homeornorphic to.
In section 4, we prove the conjecture when n ≥ 5 and π is a non-trivial direct product. More general than Conjecture A would be
CONJECTURE B. Let Xn be a manifold of type K(π, 1) with ∂X = Ø. Then X˜n is homeomorphic to.
In section 4 we give an example to show that Conjecture B is false in each dimension n ≥ 4.
