Rigidity in Non-negative Curvature
In this paper we will show that any complete manifold of nonnegative curvature has a flat soul provided it has curvature going to zero at infinity. We also show some similar results about manifolds with bounded curvature at infinity. To establish these theorems we will prove some rigidity results for Riemannian submersions, eg., any Riemannian submersion with complete flat total space and compa...
متن کاملOn Mostow rigidity for variable negative curvature
We prove a finiteness theorem for the class of complete finite volume Riemannian manifolds with pinched negative sectional curvature, fixed fundamental group, and of dimension ≥ 3. One of the key ingredients is that the fundamental group of such a manifold does not admit a small nontrivial action on an R -tree.
متن کاملFree Entropy Dimension in Amalgamated Free Products
We calculate the microstates free entropy dimension of natural generators in an amalgamated free product of certain von Neumann algebras, with amalgamation over a hyperfinite subalgebra. In particular, some ‘exotic’ Popa algebra generators of free group factors are shown to have the expected free entropy dimension. We also show that microstates and non–microstates free entropy dimension agree f...
متن کاملTheories of HNN-Extensions and Amalgamated Products
It is shown that the existential theory of G with rational constraints, over an HNN-extension G = 〈H, t; tat = φ(a)(a ∈ A)〉 is decidable, provided that the same problem is decidable in the base group H and that A is a finite group. The positive theory of G is decidable, provided that the existential positive theory of G is decidable and that A and φ(A) are proper subgroups of the base group H w...
متن کاملAmenable Actions of Amalgamated Free Products
We prove that the amalgamated free product of two free groups of rank two over a common cyclic subgroup, admits an amenable, faithful, transitive action on an infinite countable set. We also show that any finite index subgroup admits such an action, which applies for example to surface groups and fundamental groups of surface bundles over S.
