+# 4D topological Poincaré conjecture (Freedman)
+
+A specialization of mathlib's generalized `proof_wanted
+ContinuousMap.HomotopyEquiv.nonempty_homeomorph_sphere` in
+`Mathlib/Geometry/Manifold/PoincareConjecture.lean`, restricted to
+dimension 4: every Hausdorff 4-manifold homotopy-equivalent to the standard
+4-sphere `𝕊⁴` is homeomorphic to `𝕊⁴`.
+
+This is Michael Freedman's 1982 theorem (Freedman, *The topology of
+four-dimensional manifolds*, J. Differential Geom. 17), for which he was
+awarded the Fields Medal in 1986. The proof uses Casson handles and the
+"Bing topology" infinite-process construction; the corresponding **smooth**
+4D Poincaré conjecture (every smooth homotopy 4-sphere is diffeomorphic
+to `𝕊⁴`) remains famously **open** and is not included as an eval problem.
+
+mathlib has homotopy equivalences (`≃ₕ`), homeomorphisms (`≃ₜ`),
+`ChartedSpace`, and the unit sphere as a topological space — but no Casson
+handles, no Freedman's theorem, and no 4D Poincaré conjecture.

+informal_solution = "Freedman's main theorem: every topological 4-manifold homotopy equivalent to a topological model is homeomorphic to it, provided one can construct topological Casson handles. The construction of Casson handles is via a Bing-style limiting process (countably many handle additions, infinite tower of 2-handles) that produces a topological — but not smooth — 4-ball. Applying this to a homotopy 4-sphere M, one writes M as the union of two 2-handlebodies along their boundary, replaces handles with Casson handles, and assembles a homeomorphism to S⁴. The smooth analogue is open because Casson handles need not be smoothly standard (Donaldson's invariants distinguish smooth structures in dim 4)."
