The authors give an analytic proof of topological invariance of rational Pontryagin classes of a compact smooth manifold. The proof is a consequence of the second author's results on signature operators on Lipschitz manifolds (see the preceding review) combined with the first author's theorem [Geometric topology, Proc. Conf., Athens/Ga. 1977, 543- 555 (1979; Zbl 0478.57007)] on existence of an essentially unique Lipschitz structure on any topological manifold of dimension 4.
