The Gromov Lawson Rosenberg Conjecture for Groups with Periodic Cohomology
vanishes Note that index D M unlike the dimension of the ker nel and the dimension of the cokernel of D M is independent of the metric used in the construction of D M In fact according to the Atiyah Singer Index Theorem it is equal to a topological invariant A M the A genus ofM cf Ch III Thm We recall that A M is a characteristic number de ned by evaluating a certain polyno mial in the Pontrjag...
متن کاملThe Gromov-lawson-rosenberg Conjecture for Cocompact Fuchsian Groups
We prove the Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for cocompact Fuchsian groups, thereby giving necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed spin manifold of dimension greater than four with fundamental group cocompact Fuchsian to admit a metric of positive scalar curvature. Given a smooth closed manifold M, it is a long-standing question to determine whether or notM admits a Riemannian metri...
متن کاملHigher index theory for certain expanders and Gromov monster groups I
In this paper, the first of a series of two, we continue the study of higher index theory for expanders. We prove that if a sequence of graphs is an expander and the girth of the graphs tends to infinity, then the coarse Baum-Connes assembly map is injective, but not surjective, for the associated metric space X. Expanders with this girth property are a necessary ingredient in the construction ...
متن کاملHigher index theory for certain expanders and Gromov monster groups II
In this paper, the second of a series of two, we continue the study of higher index theory for expanders. We prove that if a sequence of graphs has girth tending to infinity, then the maximal coarse Baum-Connes assembly map is an isomorphism for the associated metric space X. As discussed in the first paper in this series, this has applications to the Baum-Connes conjecture for ‘Gromov monster’...
متن کاملGromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture
Doing surgery on the 5-torus, we construct a 5-dimensional closed spin-manifold M with π1(M) ∼= Z ×Z/3, so that the index invariant in the KO-theory of the reduced C-algebra of π1(M) is zero. Then we use the theory of minimal surfaces of Schoen/Yau to show that this manifolds cannot carry a metric of positive scalar curvature. The existence of such a metric is predicted by the (unstable) Gromov...
