Constructs closed connected aspherical topological four-manifolds that are homotopy equivalent but not homeomorphic, with a common word-hyperbolic fundamental group. This disproves even the homeomorphism-existence formulation of the Borel conjecture in dimension four.

The authors are OpenAI. This companion does not verify the proof. The claim is not a theorem of the Enter series and not a premise of any registered sheet. It does not close O.1. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. It is not a de Sitter state and not the QdS external-leg scheme. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted.
