On positively curved 4-manifolds with S-symmetry
It is well-known by the work of Hsiang and Kleiner that every closed oriented positively curved 4-dimensional manifold with an effective isometric S-action is homeomorphic to S or CP. As stated, it is a topological classification. The primary goal of this paper is to show that it is indeed a diffeomorphism classification for such 4dimensional manifolds. The proof of this diffeomorphism classifi...
متن کاملPositively Curved Manifolds with Large Spherical Rank
Rigidity results are obtained for Riemannian d-manifolds with sec > 1 and spherical rank at least d − 2 > 0. Conjecturally, all such manifolds are locally isometric to a round sphere or complex projective space with the (symmetric) Fubini– Study metric. This conjecture is verified in all odd dimensions, for metrics on dspheres when d 6= 6, for Riemannian manifolds satisfying the Rakić duality p...
متن کاملPositively Curved Combinatorial 3-Manifolds
We present two theorems in the “discrete differential geometry” of positively curved spaces. The first is a combinatorial analog of the Bonnet-Myers theorem: • A combinatorial 3-manifold whose edges have degree at most five has edgediameter at most five. When all edges have unit length, this degree bound is equivalent to an angle-deficit along each edge. It is for this reason we call such space...
متن کاملPositively Curved Manifolds with Large Conjugate Radius
Let M denote a complete simply connected Riemannian manifold with all sectional curvatures ≥ 1. The purpose of this paper is to prove that when M has conjugate radius at least π/2, its injectivity radius and conjugate radius coincide. Metric characterizations of compact rank one symmetric spaces are given as applications.
متن کاملA note on the characteristic classes of non-positively curved manifolds
We give conceptual proofs of some well known results concerning compact non-positively curved locally symmetric spaces. We discuss vanishing and non-vanishing of Pontrjagin numbers and Euler characteristics for these locally symmetric spaces. We also establish vanishing results for StiefelWhitney numbers of (finite covers of) the Gromov-Thurston examples of negatively curved manifolds. We menti...
