The Moduli Space of Negatively Curved Metrics of a Hyperbolic Manifold
Let M be a smooth closed manifold. We will denote the group of all self-diffeomorphisms of M, with the smooth topology, by DIF F (M).
متن کاملThe Teichmüller space of pinched negatively curved metrics on a hyperbolic manifold is not contractible
For a smooth manifold M we define the Teichmüller space T (M) of all Riemannian metrics on M and the Teichmüller space T ǫ(M) of ǫ-pinched negatively curved metrics on M , where 0 ≤ ǫ ≤ ∞. We prove that if M is hyperbolic the natural inclusion T ǫ(M) →֒ T (M) is, in general, not homotopically trivial. In particular, T ǫ(M) is, in general, not contractible. Section 0. Introduction. Let M be a clo...
متن کاملOn the Topology of the Space of Negatively Curved Metrics
We show that the space of negatively curved metrics of a closed negatively curved Riemannian n-manifold, n ≥ 10, is highly non-connected. Section 0. Introduction. Let M be a closed smooth manifold. We denote by MET (M) the space of all smooth Riemannian metrics on M and we consider MET (M) with the smooth topology. Note that the space MET (M) is contractible. A subspace of metrics whose section...
متن کاملThe geodesic flow of a nonpositively curved graph manifold
We consider discrete cocompact isometric actions G ρ y X where X is a locally compact Hadamard space1, and G belongs to a class of groups (“admissible groups”) which includes fundamental groups of 3-dimensional graph manifolds. We identify invariants (“geometric data”) of the action ρ which determine, and are determined by, the equivariant homeomorphism type of the action G ∂∞ρ y ∂∞X of G on th...
متن کاملOn the Spectrum of a Finite-volume Negatively-curved Manifold
We show that a noncompact manifold with bounded sectional curvature, whose ends are sufficiently collapsed, has a finite dimensional space of square-integrable harmonic forms. In the special case of a finite-volume manifold with pinched negative sectional curvature, we show that the essential spectrum of the p-form Laplacian is the union of the essential spectra of a collection of ordinary diff...
