Locally symmetric homology spheres and an application of Matsushima's formula

  • Francis E. A. Johnson (a1)
Extract

It is a matter of some interest to determine which closed manifolds have the same homology as a closed aspherical manifold (7) (9). This paper is concerned with the more restrictive question of which spheres have the same homology as some closed aspherical manifold.
