Replying to @plain_simon
This might also stem from them having only 16 references which is absurd for a paper of this length

[Brehm–Kühnel 1987]: For fixed d ∈ℤ⁺, every combinatorial d-manifold with strictly less than
3⌈d/2⌉ + 3
vertices is a d-sphere.

The "look and say sequence" {L[n]} goes 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, 13112221, ...
[Conway 1986]: Writing d[n] for the number of digits in L[n], the limit of the ratio d[n+1]/d[n] exists, and is an algebraic integer of degree 71.

The quadratic integer ring ℤ[√14] is a Euclidean domain, but 𝐍𝐎𝐓 with respect to the natural norm
N(a + b√14) := a² - 14b².
The first unconditional proof of the Euclidean-ness of ℤ[√14] was by Harper in 2004.

The maximum number of colors necessary to properly color a map drawn on a closed connected surface with Euler characteristic χ is
⌊½(7 + sqrt(49-24χ))⌋,
with a single exception: for the Klein bottle it is 6 (not 7).
The 2-sphere case is the Four Color Theorem.

(1) G/H is locally contractible.
(2) G/H is a manifold.

Every position of Rubik's cube can be solved in at most 20 half-turn moves. Moreover there are positions for which 19 moves is not enough.

The ℤ-rank of the homotopy groups of a simply-connected finite CW-complex of dimension d either become zero in degrees ≥ 2d, or they exhibit exponential growth.

[Gorshkov 2013]. Given n≥5, TFAE:

ω(G) = ω(A_n)

(2) n ∉ {6, 10}.

It is consistent with ZF that there is an 𝔽₂-vector space V with GL(V) = C₃.
Note that GL(𝔽₂⊕𝔽₂) = S₃ .
