Abstract
In his Math. Zeitschr. paper of 1956 A. Dold defined manifolds for
the purpose of generating unoriented cobordism groups. In the present paper a
complete piecewise linear and topological classification and partial
smooth classification of manifolds homotopy equivalent to a Dold
manifold have been done by determining: (1) the normal invariants of
the Dold manifolds, (2) the surgery obstruction of a normal invariant
and (3) the action of the Wall surgery obstruction groups on the
diffeomorphism, piecewise linear and topological homeomorphism classes
of homotopy Dold manifolds (to be made precise in the body of the
paper).
