False Theorem. Every compact polyhedral manifold with the homology of an n-dimensional sphere is actually homeomorphic to the n-dimensional sphere.

This manifold meets Poincare's preliminary criterion: by the methods of homology theory, it cannot be distinguished from the three-dimensional sphere. However, he could prove that it is not a sphere by constructing a simple closed curve that cannot be deformed to a point within M^3.

Since then, the hypothesis that every simply connected closed 3-manifold is homeomorphic to the 3-sphere has been known as the Poincare Conjecture.

Question. If a compact three-dimensional manifold M^3 has the property that every simple closed curve within the manifold can be deformed continuously to a point, does it follow that M^3 is homeomorphic to the sphere S^3?

The hash beside the text is the sha256 of its exact bytes. It is the check that the text shown matches the one pinned in the package: a divergence fails the oracle’s static analysis.
