All such manifolds with $\\pi=\\pi_1(M)\\cong {\\mathbb Z}/4$ are homotopy equivalent. In this case, we show that there are four homeomorphism types, and propose a candidate for a smooth example which is not homeomorphic to the geometric quotient. If $\\pi\\cong {\\mathbb Z}/2 \\times {\\mathbb Z}/2$, we show that there are three homotopy types (and between 6 and 24 homeomorphism types).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-13T00:03:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57N13" ], "keywords": [ "homeomorphism types", "euler characteristic", "smooth example", "homotopy types", "homotopy equivalent" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
