The classification $\mathcal{M}_6(0)$ was one of Smale's first applications of the h-cobordism theorem [Smale1962a, Corollary 1.3]. The classification, as for oriented surfaces is strikingly simple: every 2-connected 6-manifold $M$ is diffeomorphic to a connected-sum

$\displaystyle M \cong \sharp_r(S^3 \times S^3)/var/www/vhost/map.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/tmp/AppWikiTex/tex_XZMpOi$ $\displaystyle M \cong \sharp_r(S^3 \times S^3)$

where by definition $\sharp_0(S^3 \times S^3) = S^6$ and in general $r$ is determined by the formula for the Euler characteristic of $M$

$\displaystyle \chi(M) = 2 - 2r./var/www/vhost/map.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/tmp/AppWikiTex/tex_rHNNwE$ $\displaystyle \chi(M) = 2 - 2r.$

For the more general case where $H_2(M) \neq 0$ , see 6-manifolds: 1-connected.

1 Construction and examples

The following gives a complete list of 2-connected 6-manifolds up to diffeomorphism:

$S^6$ , the standard 6-sphere.
$\sharp_b(S^3 \times S^3)$ , the $b$ -fold connected sum of $S^3 \times S^3$ .

2 Invariants

Suppose that $M$ is diffeomorphic to $\sharp_b(S^3 \times S^3)$ then:

$\pi_3(M) \cong H_3(M) \cong \Zz^{2b}$ ,
the third Betti-number of $M$ is given by $b_3(M) = 2b$ ,
the Euler characteristic of $M$ is given by $\chi(M) = 2 - 2b$ ,
the intersection form of $M$ is isomorphic to the sum of b-copies of $H_{-}(\Zz)$ , the standard skew-symmetric hyperbolic form on $\Zz^2$ .

3 Classification

Recall that the following theorem was stated in other words in the introduction:

The semi-group of 2-connected 6-manifolds is generated by $S^3 \times S^3$ .

Hence if $\Nn$ denotes the natural numbers we obtain a bijection

$\displaystyle \mathcal{M}_6(0)\equiv \Nn,~~~[M] \mapsto \frac{1}{2}b_3(M)./var/www/vhost/map.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/tmp/AppWikiTex/tex_9CcEFA$ $\displaystyle \mathcal{M}_6(0)\equiv \Nn,~~~[M] \mapsto \frac{1}{2}b_3(M).$

4 Further discussion

4.1 Topological 2-connected 6-manifolds

Let $\mathcal{M}^{\Top}_6(e)$ be the set of homeomorphism classes of topological 2-connected 6-manifolds.

Theorem 14.1. Every topological 2-connected 6-manifold admits a smooth structure which is unique up to diffoemorphism. That is, there is a bijection

$\displaystyle \mathcal{M}_6(e) \rightarrow \mathcal{M}^{\Top}_6(e)./var/www/vhost/map.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/tmp/AppWikiTex/tex_1iOBN3$ $\displaystyle \mathcal{M}_6(e) \rightarrow \mathcal{M}^{\Top}_6(e).$

For any such manifold $M$ we have $H^4(M; \Zz/2) \cong 0$ and so $M$ is smoothable (see 6-manifolds: 1-connected). Any two homeomorphic manifolds have the same Euler Characteristic and so by Theorem 11.1 are diffeomorphic.
