Assuming the cited compact complex threefold XsphX_{\mathrm{sph}} on the smooth S6S^{6} is valid, blowing up its fixed curve, quotienting by the order-two action, and applying an Atiyah flop produces a complex threefold X+X_{+} diffeomorphic to the standard smooth manifold S2×S4S^{2}\times S^{4}.

The construction takes the existence, topology, and group-action results for XsphX_{\mathrm{sph}} from the cited paper as input. MFN read the arXiv source but did not independently check those inputs, the Wall-classification calculations, or the flop construction.
