Building on work of Stolz, we prove for integers $0 le d le 3$ and $k>232$ that the boundaries of $(k-1)$-connected, almost closed $(2k+d)$-manifolds also bound parallelizable manifolds. Away from finitely many dimensions, this settles longstanding questions of C.T.C. Wall, determines all Stein fillable homotopy spheres, and proves a conjecture of Galatius and Randal-Williams. Implications are drawn for both the classification of highly connected manifolds and, via work of Kreck and Krannich, the calculation of their mapping class groups. Our technique is to recast the Galatius and Randal-Williams conjecture in terms of the vanishing of a certain Toda bracket, and then to analyze this Toda bracket by bounding its $mathrm{H}mathbb{F}_p$-Adams filtrations for all primes $p$. We additionally prove new vanishing lines in the $mathrm{H}mathbb{F}_p$-Adams spectral sequences of spheres and Moore spectra, which are likely to be of independent interest. Several of these vanishing lines rely on an Appendix by Robert Burklund, which answers a question of Mathew about vanishing curves in $mathrm{BP} langle n rangle$-based Adams spectral sequences.

Bredon has constructed a 2-dimensional compact cohomology manifold which is not homologically locally connected, with respect to the singular homology. In the present paper we construct infinitely many such examples (which are in addition metrizable spaces) in all remaining dimensions $n ge 3$.
We define the Bianchi-Massey tensor of a topological space X to be a linear map from a subquotient of the fourth tensor power of H*(X). We then prove that if M is a closed (n-1)-connected manifold of dimension at most 5n-3 (and n > 1) then its rational homotopy type is determined by its cohomology algebra and Bianchi-Massey tensor, and that M is formal if and only if the Bianchi-Massey tensor vanishes. We use the Bianchi-Massey tensor to show that there are many (n-1)-connected (4n-1)-manifolds that are not formal but have no non-zero Massey products, and to present a classification of simply-connected 7-manifolds up to finite ambiguity.
Let $G$ be a simply-connected simple compact Lie group and let $M$ be an orientable smooth closed 4-manifold. In this paper we calculate the homotopy type of the suspension of $M$ and the homotopy types of the gauge groups of principal $G$-bundles over $M$ when $pi_1(M)$ is: (1)~$mathbb{Z}^{*m}$, (2)~$mathbb{Z}/p^rmathbb{Z}$, or (3)~$mathbb{Z}^{*m}*(*^n_{j=1}mathbb{Z}/p_j^{r_j}mathbb{Z})$, where $p$ and the $p_j$s are odd primes.
We determine the number of distinct fibre homotopy types for the gauge groups of principal $Sp(2)$-bundles over a closed, simply-connected four-manifold.
In ~cite{Iw2} Iwase has constructed two 16-dimensional manifolds $M_2$ and $M_3$ with LS-category 3 which are counter-examples to Ganeas conjecture: ${rm cat_{LS}} (Mtimes S^n)={rm cat_{LS}} M+1$. We show that the manifold $M_3$ is a counter-example to the logarithmic law for the LS-category of the square of a manifold: ${rm cat_{LS}}(Mtimes M)=2{rm cat_{LS}} M$. Also, we construct a map of degree one $$f:Nto M_2times M_3$$ which reduces Rudyaks conjecture to the question whether ${rm cat_{LS}}(M_2times M_3)ge 5$. We show that ${rm cat_{LS}}(M_2times M_3)ge 4$.
