We study the problem of approximating, up to homotopy, compact topological manifolds by real algebraic varieties. As a consequence, we realize any integral non-degenerate quadratic form as the intersection form of a real algebraic variety. This is related to a well-known result, due to Freedman [F], on the topology of closed simply-connected topological -manifolds.

In this note we give examples in every dimension of piecewise linearly homeomorphic, closed, connected, smooth -manifolds which admit two smoothness structures with differing spans, stable spans, and immersion co-dimensions. In dimension the examples include the total spaces of certain -sphere bundles over . The construction of such manifolds is based on the topological variance of the second Pontrjagin class: a fact which goes back to Milnor and which was used by Roitberg to...
