Non-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...

15 صفحه اولPositively Curved Combinatorial 3-Manifolds
We present two theorems in the “discrete differential geometry” of positively curved spaces. The first is a combinatorial analog of the Bonnet-Myers theorem: • A combinatorial 3-manifold whose edges have degree at most five has edgediameter at most five. When all edges have unit length, this degree bound is equivalent to an angle-deficit along each edge. It is for this reason we call such space...
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 ...
متن کاملA note on the characteristic classes of non-positively curved manifolds
We give conceptual proofs of some well known results concerning compact non-positively curved locally symmetric spaces. We discuss vanishing and non-vanishing of Pontrjagin numbers and Euler characteristics for these locally symmetric spaces. We also establish vanishing results for StiefelWhitney numbers of (finite covers of) the Gromov-Thurston examples of negatively curved manifolds. We menti...
