Abstract
While the exotic diffeomorphisms turned out to be very rich, we know much less about the case, as parameterized gauge-theoretic invariants are not well defined. In this paper we present a method (that is, comparing the winding number of parameter families) to find exotic diffeomorphisms on simply-connected smooth closed -manifolds with , and as a result we obtain that admits exotic diffeomorphisms. This is currently the smallest known example of a closed -manifold that supports exotic diffeomorphisms.
