Scharlemann's manifold is standard
Abstract
In his 1974 thesis, Martin Scharlemann constructed a fake homotopy equivalence from a closed smooth manifold f:Q -> S3 x S1 # S2 x S2 and asked whether the manifold Q itself is diffeomorphic to S3 x S1 # S2 x S2. Here we answer this question affirmatively.
