If you have a question about this talk, please contact Oscar Randal-Williams .

A simply connected, smooth (2n)-manifold is said to be highly connected if it has integral homology only in dimensions 0,n, and 2n. I will survey the problem of classifying highly connected manifolds up to diffeomorphism, as well as calculating their mapping class groups. I will describe work, joint with Robert Burklund and Andrew Senger, that completes the classification in all but finitely many dimensions. Combining our results with theorems of Kreck, Galatius, Randal-Williams, and Krannich gives new mapping class group computations.
