In this paper we prove that for all $n=4k-2$, $k\ge2$ there exists closed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds $M$ with negative sectional curvature that do not have the homotopy type of a locally symmetric space, such that $\pi_{1}(\mathcal{T}^{<0}(M))$ is non-trivial. $\mathcal{T}^{<0}(M)$ denotes the Teichm\"uller space of all negatively curved Riemannian metrics on $M$, which is the topological quotient of the space of all negatively curved metrics modulo the space of self-diffeomorphisms of $M$ that are homotopic to the identity. Gromov Thurston branched cover manifolds provide examples of negatively curved manifolds that do not have the homotopy type of a locally symmetric space. These manifolds will be used in this paper to prove the above stated result.

Teichmüller space of negatively curved metrics on Gromov–Thurston manifolds is not contractible
