A homotopy sphere is a topological space which need not be homeomorphic to an n-sphere, but which has the same homotopy type as an -sphere.
Every homotopy sphere is a rational homotopy sphere.
Every homotopy sphere is a homology sphere.
Every simply connected homology sphere is a homotopy sphere.
A path-connected, -connected, orientable and closed -manifold is a homotopy--sphere.
A path-connected, -connected, orientable and closed -manifold is a homotopy--sphere.
Every smooth manifold homotopy-4-sphere is homeomorphic to the actual 4-sphere.
