Title: Nonhomeomorphic closed aspherical four-manifolds with the same homotopy type.

Abstract: We construct closed connected aspherical topological four-manifolds that are homotopy equivalent but not homeomorphic, disproving the homeomorphism-existence formulation of the Borel conjecture in dimension four. Their common fundamental group is word-hyperbolic. One of the manifolds also has a self-homotopy equivalence not homotopic to a homeomorphism.

This abstract is a catalogue record. It is not a verification and not a premise. It does not close O.1. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted.
