The Volume Flux Group and Nonpositive Curvature
We show that a closed nonpositively curved manifold with non-trivial volume flux group has zero minimal volume. It can be seen from the proof that these manifolds admit a finite covering with circle actions whose orbits are homologically essential. LetM be a closed smooth manifold and μ a volume form onM . Denote by Diff the group of μ–preserving diffeomorphisms of M , and by Diff 0 its identit...
متن کاملA Note on Curvature and Fundamental Group
Define the growth function γ associated with a finitely generated group and a specified choice of generators {gl7 -, gp} for the group as follows (compare [9]). For each positive integer s let γ(s) be the number of distinct group elements which can be expressed as words of length < s in the specified generators and their inverses. (For example, if the group is free abelian of rank 2 with specif...
متن کاملNonnegative curvature, symmetry and fundamental group
We prove a result on equivariant deformations of flat bundles, and as a corollary, we obtain two “splitting in a finite cover” theorems for isometric group actions on Riemannian manifolds with infinite fundamental groups, where the manifolds are either compact of Ric ≥ 0, or complete of sec ≥ 0.
متن کاملCurvature and Function Theory on Riemannian Manifolds
Function theory on Euclidean domains in relation to potential theory, partial differential equations, probability, and harmonic analysis has been the target of investigation for decades. There is a wealth of classical literature in the subject. Geometers began to study function theory with the primary reason to prove a uniformization type theorem in higher dimensions. It was first proposed by G...
متن کاملQ-Curvature, Spectral Invariants, and Representation Theory
We give an introductory account of functional determinants of elliptic operators on manifolds and Polyakov-type formulas for their infinitesimal and finite conformal variations. We relate this to extremal problems and to the Q-curvature on even-dimensional conformal manifolds. The exposition is self-contained, in the sense of giving references sufficient to allow the reader to work through all ...
