Conjugacy rigidity for nonpositively curved graph manifolds
We show that the metric of nonpositively curved graph manifolds is determined by its geodesic flow. More precisely we show that if the geodesic flows of two nonpositively curved graph manifolds are C0 conjugate then the spaces
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 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 کاملRigidity of Fibrations over Nonpositively Curved Manifolds?
THE THEORY of manifold approximate fibrations is the correct bundle theory for topological manifolds and singular spaces. This theory plays the same role in the topological category as fiber bundle theory plays in the differentiable category and as block bundle theory plays in the piecewise linear category. For example, neighborhoods in topologically stratified spaces can be characterized and c...
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.
