Contractible Hilbert cube manifolds
In this note we give an example of a contractible Hilbert cube manifold which cannot be embedded as an open subset of the Hilbert cube <italic>Q</italic> so that its complement (in <italic>Q</italic>) lies in a face of the boundary of <italic>Q</italic>. This example provides a negative answer to a question …
