摘要
The structure set of an -dimensional topological manifold for has a homotopy invariant functorial abelian group structure, by the algebraic version of the Browder-Novikov-Sullivan-Wall surgery theory. An element is an equivalence class of -dimensional manifolds with a homotopy equivalence . The composition formula is that for homotopy equivalences , . The formula is required for a paper of Kreck and L\"uck.
