On Simply-connected 4-manifolds
This paper concerns (but does not succeed in performing) the diffeomorphism classification of closed, oriented, differential, simply-connected 4-manifolds. It arises out of the observation (due to Pontrjagin and Milnor [2]) that if two such manifolds Mx and M2 have isomorphic quadratic forms of intersection numbers on #2(Jft-), then there is a map / : M1-^-Mi which is a homotopy equivalence and...
متن کاملOn Non-formal Simply Connected Manifolds
We construct examples of non-formal simply connected and compact oriented manifolds of any dimension bigger or equal to 7.
متن کاملNon-linear ergodic theorems in complete non-positive curvature metric spaces
Hadamard (or complete $CAT(0)$) spaces are complete, non-positive curvature, metric spaces. Here, we prove a nonlinear ergodic theorem for continuous non-expansive semigroup in these spaces as well as a strong convergence theorem for the commutative case. Our results extend the standard non-linear ergodic theorems for non-expansive maps on real Hilbert spaces, to non-expansive maps on Ha...
متن کاملSimply Connected Manifolds of Positive Scalar Curvature
Hitchin proved that if M is a spin manifold with positive scalar curvature, then the A^O-characteristic number a(M) vanishes. Gromov and Lawson conjectured that for a simply connected spin manifold M of dimension > 5, the vanishing of a(M) is sufficient for the existence of a Riemannian metric on M with positive scalar curvature. We prove this conjecture using techniques from stable homotopy th...
متن کاملQuasilinear elliptic inequalities on complete Riemannian manifolds
We prove maximum and comparison principles for weak distributional solutions of quasilinear, possibly singular or degenerate, elliptic differential inequalities in divergence form on complete Riemannian manifolds. A new definition of ellipticity for nonlinear operators on Riemannian manifolds is introduced, covering the standard important examples. As an application, uniqueness results for some...
