Fiberwise Poincaré–Hopf Theory and Exotic Smooth Structures on Manifold Bundles

Description:

We prove the Rigidity Conjecture of Goette and Igusa, which states that, after rationalizing, there are no stable exotic smoothings of manifold bundles with closed even dimensional fibers. The key ingredients of the proof are fiberwise Poincaré–Hopf theorems generalizing earlier such results about the Becker–Gottlieb transfer. These theorems show how...
