Let be the standard (n + 1) simplex with its standard triangulation. By the Generalized Poincare Conjecture, if n ≧ 5 and is a smooth homotopy w-sphere, then there exists a smooth triangulation , where K is a suitable subdivision of . On the other hand, in [3], N. Kuiper proves the following theorem.
