Idea

A rational homotopy sphere is a topological space which need not be homeomorphic to an n-sphere, but which has the same rational homotopy type as an nn-sphere, hence whose rationalization is weakly homotopy equivalent to a rational n-sphere.

Properties

Corollary

Every homotopy sphere is a rational homotopy sphere.
