The Geometric Finiteness Obstruction
The purpose of this paper is to develop a geometric approach to Wall's finiteness obstruction. We will do this for equivariant CW-complexes. The main advantage will be that we can derive all the formal properties of the equivariant finiteness obstruction easily from this geometric description. Namely, the obstruction property, homotopy invariance, the sum and product formulas, and the restricti...
متن کاملGeometric Diffeomorphism Finiteness in Low Dimensions and Homotopy Group Finiteness
Our main result asserts that for any given numbers C and D the class of simply connected closed smooth manifolds of dimension m < 7 which admit a Riemannian metric with sectional curvature bounded in absolute value by |K| ≤ C and diameter uniformly bounded from above by D contains only finitely many diffeomorphism types. Thus in these dimensions the lower positive bound on volume in Cheeger’s F...
متن کاملOrbifold Homeomorphism Finiteness Based on Geometric Constraints
We show that any collection of n-dimensional orbifolds with sectional curvature and volume uniformly bounded below, diameter bounded above, and with only isolated singular points contains orbifolds of only finitely many orbifold homeomorphism types. This is a generalization to the orbifold category of a similar result for manifolds proven by Grove, Petersen, and Wu. It follows that any Laplace ...
متن کاملFiniteness of Flux Vacua from Geometric Transitions
We argue for finiteness of flux vacua around type IIB CY singularities by computing their gauge theory duals. This leads us to propose a geometric transition where the compact 3-cycles support both RR and NS flux, while the open string side contains 5-brane bound states. By a suitable combination of S duality and symplectic transformations, both sides are shown to have the same IR physics. The ...
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...
