Diffeomorphisms of Elliptic 3-Manifoldsby S. Hong, J. Kalliongis, D. McCullough, J. H. Rubinstein - arXiv
The elliptic 3-manifolds are the closed 3-manifolds that admit a Riemannian metric of constant positive curvature. For any elliptic 3-manifold M, the inclusion from the isometry group of M to the diffeomorphism group of M is a homotopy equivalence.

Exotic Homology Manifoldsby Frank Quinn, Andrew Ranicki
Homology manifolds were developed in the 20th century to give a precise setting for Poincare's ideas on duality. They are investigated using algebraic and geometric methods. This volume is the proceedings of a workshop held in 2003.
