On a distance function between Differentiable structures*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 January 2016
Extract
In this note, we investigate a relation between the connected sum of manifolds and the distance of manifolds ([2]). Since the smoothing of a piecewise linear equivalence is given by connected sum of exotic spheres ([1]), we have a certain estimate of the smoothing obstruction using the distance of manifolds (Proposition 3). In § 3, an application is given to show the impossibility of the 0.64-pinching of an exotic sphere.
