Suppose that M and N are closed smooth simply-connected n-manifolds, n \geq 5, and that there is a diffeomorphism

\displaystyle  f \colon M \times S^1 \cong N \times S^1.

Show that M and N are diffeomorphic.

If M and N are not simply-connected, what condition would you place on the fundamental group to obtain a similar theoroem?
