PreprintSurgery on SL×En-manifoldsJ.A.Hillman and S.K.RoushonAbstractWe show that although closed SL×En-manifolds do not admit metrics of nonpositive sectional curvature, the arguments of Farrell and Jones can be extended to show that such manifolds are topologically rigid, if n≥2.Keywords: topological rigidity, geometric structure, surgery groups. AMS Subject Classification: Primary 57R67; secondary 57N16.
