设a c ITn i(SOm),E WTm A(SOO),并考虑流形NXx:通过将Sn(Sm)上具有特征类a(O)的Dm(Dn)丛的全空间Ec和ER连接在一起而获得。在[10]米尔诺尔表明,aN,f,几乎总是一个同伦球。特别地,如果m=n且aNo,:/ ECIm(1 Tnl(SOnc 1)-*ITn-1(SOn)),则aNo,:是维数为(2n 1)的同伦球面。设A2 n-1是所有这类球面的集合。本文的目的就是研究这些领域。在[12]中(和[8]中用完全不同的方法)证明了A2 n-1是同伦(2n-1)球面群02 ni的一个子群,它的元素表示光滑(n-1)个2n维连通PL流形的障碍,其中n个骨架可以被光滑。因此,我们有兴趣知道子群A2 n-1是什么。在这方面,我们证明
Let a c ITn i(SOm), E WTm A(SOO) and consider the manifold NXx: obtained by plumbing together the total spaces Ec, and ER of the Dm (respectively Dn) bundle over Sn (respectively Sm) with characteristic classes a (respectively O). In [10] Milnor shows that aN,,f, is almost always a homotopy sphere. In particular, if m=n and a, / ECIm (1Tnl(SOnc1) -*ITn-1(SOn)), then aNo,: is a homotopy sphere of dimension (2n 1). Let A2n_ -1 be the set of all such spheres. It is the object of this note to investigate these spheres. It is shown in [12] (and [8] by quite different methods) that A2n-1 is a subgroup Of 02ni, the group of homotopy (2n 1) spheres, whose elements represent obstructions to smoothing (n -1) connected PL manifolds of dimension 2n where n skeleton can be smoothed. It is of interest, then, to know what the subgroup A2n -1 is. In this connection we prove
