Abstract

A long-standing conjecture of Farrell and Zdravkovska and independently S.T. Yau states that every almost flat manifold is the boundary of a compact manifold. This paper gives a simple proof of this conjecture when the holonomy group is cyclic or quaternionic. The proof is based on the interaction between flat bundles and involutions.
