On Strongly Inflexible Manifolds

Abstract An oriented closed connected $N$-manifold $M$ is inflexible if it does not admit self-maps of unbounded degree. In addition, if all the maps from any other oriented closed connected $N$-manifold have bounded degree, then $M$ is said to be strongly inflexible. The existence of simply-connected inflexible manifolds was established …
