On the nonexistence of certain branched covers

Pekka Pankka and Juan Souto

Geometry & Topology 16 (2012) 1321–1344
Abstract

We prove that while there are maps T4 #3(S2 × S2) of arbitrarily large degree, there is no branched cover from the 4–torus to #3(S2 × S2). More generally, we obtain that, as long as a closed manifold N satisfies a suitable cohomological condition, any π1–surjective branched cover Tn N is a homeomorphism.
