Inertia groups and smooth structures of (\(n-1\))-connected \(2n\)-manifolds (Q294156)

Let \(M\) be a \(2n\)-dimensional \((n-1)\)-connected closed smoothable topological manifold. The author proves some results on smooth structures on such manifolds \(M\). Here are two typical results. Theorem 2.7 (a short version): The concordance classes of smoothing of \(M^{2n}\) is in one-to-one correspondence with the Kervaire-Milnor group \(\Theta_{2n}\) for \(n=4,5\). Theorem 4.7: Let \(n>3\) and be such that \(\Theta_n=\Theta_{n+1}=0\). If \(n\neq 0,4\mod 8\) then the set of diffeomorphism classes of smooth structures on \(M\) is in one-to-one correspondence with \(\Theta_{2n}\).
