On the Classification of Manifolds Up to Finite Ambiguity

In the early 70's Dennis Sullivan applied his theory of minimal models and surgery to the classification of 1-connected closed smooth manifolds of dimension ≥ 5 up to finite ambiguity [Su]. To a diffeomorphism class of such a manifold M he assigns the isomorphism class given by the real minimal …
