In this paper we address the existence of smooth manifolds proper homotopy equivalent to nonuniform arithmetic manifolds M = Γ\ G / K that are not homeomorphic to it. While the manifolds M are properly rigid if rank ℚ (Γ) ≤ 2, we show that the so‐called virtual structure group has infinite rank as a ℚ‐vector space if rank ℚ (Γ) ≥ 4.© 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
