Abstract

Description

We give a short proof of the (known) result that there are no Kaehler structures on exotic tori. This yields a negative solution to a problem posed by Benson and Gordon. W discuss the symplectic version of the problem and analyze results which yield an evidence for the conjecture that there are no symplectic structures on exotic tori.
AMSLaTeX, 16 pages, a new version. A survey of the symplectic version of the problem is added
