How different can h-cobordant manifolds be?

Abstract We study the homeomorphism types of manifolds $h$-cobordant to a fixed one. Our investigation is partly motivated by the notion of special manifolds introduced by Milnor in his study of lens spaces. In particular, we revisit and clarify some of the claims concerning $h$-cobordisms of these...
