A Positively Curved Manifold Homeomorphic
Spaces of positive curvature play a special role in geometry. Although the class of manifolds with positive (sectional) curvature is expected to be relatively small, so far there are only a few known obstructions. Moreover, for closed simply connected manifolds these coincide with the known obstructions to nonnegative curvature which are: (1) the Betti number theorem of Gromov which asserts tha...
متن کاملNon-positively Curved Cube Complexes
Let Γ be a discrete group, defined by a presentation P = 〈ai | rj〉, say, or as the fundamental group of a connected CW-complex X. Remark 1.1. Let XP be the CW-complex with a single 0-cell E , one 1-cell E i for each ai (oriented accordingly), and one 2-cell E 2 j for each rj , with attaching map ∂E j → X (1) P that reads off the word rj in the generators {ai}. Then, by the Seifert–van Kampen Th...
متن کاملNegatively Curved Manifolds with Exotic Smooth Structures
Let M denote a compact real hyperbolic manifold with dimensionm 2: 5 and sectional curvature K = I , and let 1: be an exotic sphere ofdimension m. Given any small number t5 > 0 , we show that there is a finitecovering space M of M satisfying the following properties: the connectedsum M#1: is not diffeomorphic to M, but it is homeomorphic to M; M#1:supports a Riemannian metri...
متن کاملConstructing Non-positively Curved Spaces and Groups
The theory of non-positively curved spaces and groups is tremendously powerful and has enormous consequences for the groups and spaces involved. Nevertheless, our ability to construct examples to which the theory can be applied has been severely limited by an inability to test – in real time – whether a random finite piecewise Euclidean complex is non-positively curved. In this article I focus ...
