Double suspension theorem

title: Double suspension theorem
text: In geometric topology, the double suspension theorem of James W. Cannon and Robert D. Edwards states that the double suspension S2X of a homology sphere X is a topological sphere. If X is a piecewise-linear homology sphere but not a sphere, then its double suspension S2X is an example of a triangulation of a topological sphere that is not piecewise-linear. The reason is that, unlike in piecewise-linear manifolds, the link of one of the suspension points is not a sphere.
