Talk:Whitehead torsion

Whitehead group not GL?

I have the following question: is there an example of f.p. group whose Whitehead group is not in GLn for some finite n?

What's h?
I'm guessing its the dimension of the boundary manifolds. The number one rule of good mathematical writing is to quantify everything. Woood (talk) 07:27, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
