    am splitting off this entry from exotic smooth strcuture, in order to facilitate linking to specifically the case of exotic 7-sphere.

    Accordingly, so far the bulk of the entry is just copied over from the corresponding section at exotic smooth structure,

    But I also added a new paragraph,

    and that is what motivated me to split this off. Namely it occured to me that from the point of view of M-theory on 8-manifolds, Milnor’s classical construction of exotic smooth 7-spheres as boundaries of 8-manifolds is very particularly the construction of near horizon limits of black M2-brane spacetimes in the context of M-theory on 8-manifolds.

    This must be known in the literature, and I’d like to collect what is known about it. So far I found a brief comment in this direction, in section 3.2 of

    Will be adding more as I find more.

    added the missing reference:

    There’s a reference to (FSS 19, 4.6) in this section, but that paper doesn’t have a section with that number.

    Thanks for saying. This was referring to section 4.6 in the arXiv version v1, which became section 3.8 in the published version v4. I have now adjusted accordingly.
