The structure space \(\mathcal{S}(M)\) of a closed topological \(m\)-manifold \(M\) classifies bundles whose fibers are closed \(m\)-manifolds equipped with a homotopy equivalence to \(M\). The authors construct a highly connected map from \(\mathcal{S}(M)\) to a concoction of algebraic \(L\)-theory and algebraic \(K\)-theory spaces associated with \(M\). The construction refines the well-known surgery theoretic analysis of the block structure space of \(M\) in terms of \(L\)-theory.
