Pontryagin Numbers and Nonnegative Curvature
We prove that any rational linear combination of Pontryagin numbers that is not a multiple of the signature is unbounded on connected closed oriented manifolds of nonnegative sectional curvature. Combining our result with Gromov’s finiteness result for the signature yields a new characterization of the L-genus.
متن کاملCurvature, Cones, and Characteristic Numbers
We study Einstein metrics on smooth compact 4-manifolds with an edge-cone singularity of specified cone angle along an embedded 2-manifold. To do so, we first derive modified versions of the GaussBonnet and signature theorems for arbitrary Riemannian 4-manifolds with edge-cone singularities, and then show that these yield non-trivial obstructions in the Einstein case. We then use these integral...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Numbers and Curvature — Examples and Applications
Using the idea of the degree of a smooth mapping between two manifolds of the same dimension we present here the topological (homotopical) classification of the mappings between spheres of the same dimension, vector fields, monopole and instanton solutions. Starting with a review of the elements of Riemannian geometry we also present an original elementary proof of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem and ...
متن کاملCurvature and Characteristic Numbers of Hyper-kähler Manifolds
Characteristic numbers of compact hyper-Kähler manifolds are expressed in graphtheoretical form, considering them as a special case of the curvature invariants introduced by L. Rozansky and E. Witten. The appropriate graphs are generated by “wheels,” and the recently proved Wheeling theorem is used to give a formula for the L 2-norm of the curvature of an irreducible hyper-Kähler manifold in te...
متن کاملZarankiewicz Numbers and Bipartite Ramsey Numbers
The Zarankiewicz number z(b; s) is the maximum size of a subgraph of Kb,b which does not contain Ks,s as a subgraph. The two-color bipartite Ramsey number b(s, t) is the smallest integer b such that any coloring of the edges of Kb,b with two colors contains a Ks,s in the rst color or a Kt,t in the second color.In this work, we design and exploit a computational method for bounding and computing...
