In this note we give examples in every dimension m 9 of piecewise linearly homeomorphic, closed, connected, smooth m -manifolds which admit two smoothness structures with differing spans, stable spans, and immersion co-dimensions. In dimension 15 the examples include the total spaces of certain 7 -sphere bundles over S 8 . 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...
