Group Actions and the Topology of Nonnegatively Curved 4-manifolds ?
We consider nonnegatively curved 4-manifolds that admit effective isometric actions by nite groups and from that draw topological conclusions about the manifold. Our rst theorem shows that if the man-ifolds admits an isometric Zp Zp for p large enough that the manifold has Euler characteristic less than or equal to ve. Our second theorem requires no hypothesis on the structure of the group othe...
متن کاملRigidity for Nonnegatively Curved Metrics
We address the question: how large is the family of complete metrics with nonnegative sectional curvature on S × R? We classify the connection metrics, and give several examples of non-connection metrics. We provide evidence that the family is small by proving some rigidity results for metrics more general than connection metrics.
متن کاملGeneralized Alexandrov–toponogov Theorems for Radially Curved Manifolds and Their Applications
We investigate the topology of complete Riemannian manifolds with the radial curvature at the base manifold bounded below by those of model surfaces. Here, model surfaces are generalized surfaces of revolution and warped product models which are diffeomorphic to S.
متن کاملSpace of Nonnegatively Curved Metrics and Pseudoisotopies
Let V be an open manifold with complete nonnegatively curved metric such that the normal sphere bundle to a soul has no section. We prove that the souls of nearby nonnegatively curved metrics on V are smoothly close. Combining this result with some topological properties of pseudoisotopies we show that for many V the space of complete nonnegatively curved metrics has infinite higher homotopy gr...
متن کاملRigidity for Nonnegatively Curved Metrics on S × R
We address the question: how large is the family of complete metrics with nonnegative sectional curvature on S2 × R3? We classify the connection metrics, and give several examples of non-connection metrics. We provide evidence that the family is small by proving some rigidity results for metrics more general than connection metrics.
