Classification of Manifolds with Weakly 1/4-pinched Curvatures Simon Brendle and Richard Schoen
A classical theorem due to M. Berger [2] and W. Klingenberg [11] states that a simply connected Riemannian manifold whose sectional curvatures all lie in the interval [1, 4] is either isometric to a symmetric space or homeomorphic to Sn (see also [12], Theorems 2.8.7 and 2.8.10). In this paper, we provide a classification, up to diffeomorphism, of all Riemannian manifolds whose sectional curvat...
متن کاملClassification of Almost Quarter-pinched Manifolds
We show that if a simply connected manifold is almost quarter pinched then it is di¤eomorphic to a CROSS or sphere.
متن کاملManifolds with Pointwise 1/4-pinched Curvature
In this lecture we will describe our recent joint work with SimonBrendle ([1], [2]) in which we give the differentiable classification ofcompact Riemannian manifolds with pointwise 1/4-pinched curvature.Our theorems are:Theorem 1. Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold with pointwise1/4-pinched curvature. Then M admits a metric of constant curvature,and therefore is ...
متن کاملKähler manifolds and fundamental groups of negatively δ-pinched manifolds
In this note, we will show that the fundamental group of any negatively δ-pinched (δ > 14) manifold can’t be the fundamental group of a quasi-compact Kähler manifold. As a consequence of our proof, we also show that any nonuniform lattice in F4(−20) cannot be the fundamental group of a quasi-compact Kähler manifold. The corresponding result for uniform lattices was proved by Carlson and Hernánd...
متن کاملGeometric Finiteness in Negatively Pinched Hadamard Manifolds
In this paper, we generalize Bonahon’s characterization of geometrically infinite torsion-free discrete subgroups of PSL(2,C) to geometrically infinite discrete torsionfree subgroups Γ of isometries of negatively pinched Hadamard manifolds X. We then generalize a theorem of Bishop to prove that every such geometrically infinite isometry subgroup Γ has a set of nonconical limit points with cardi...
