The Geometric Finiteness Obstruction
The purpose of this paper is to develop a geometric approach to Wall's finiteness obstruction. We will do this for equivariant CW-complexes. The main advantage will be that we can derive all the formal properties of the equivariant finiteness obstruction easily from this geometric description. Namely, the obstruction property, homotopy invariance, the sum and product formulas, and the restricti...
متن کاملThe Wall Finiteness Obstruction for a Fibration
1. We wish to study the Wall finiteness obstruction for the total space of a fibration F → E → B. Such a study was first done by V. J. Lal [5], who neglected the action of π1(B) on the fibre. This was noticed by D. R. Anderson [2], who produced formulae for the finiteness obstruction of E in case the fibration is a flat bundle [2, 1]. Our main theorem gives a partial calculation of the general ...
متن کاملThe Euler Characteristic and Finiteness Obstruction of Manifolds with Periodic Ends
The analytic index of the operator d+δ on a compact orientable Riemannian manifold M is the Euler characteristic of M, χ (M) . This paper extends this result to a class of complete noncompact manifolds, those with finitely generated rational homology and finitely many quasi-periodic ends. The latter term means that there is a neighborhood of each end which is quasi-isometric to a neighborhood o...
متن کاملFiniteness spaces
We investigate a new denotational model of linear logic based on the purely relational model. In this semantics, webs are equipped with a notion of “finitary” subsets satisfying a closure condition and proofs are interpreted as finitary sets. In spite of a formal similarity, this model is quite different from the usual models of linear logic (coherence semantics, hypercoherence semantics, the v...
متن کاملGeometric Diffeomorphism Finiteness in Low Dimensions and Homotopy Group Finiteness
Our main result asserts that for any given numbers C and D the class of simply connected closed smooth manifolds of dimension m < 7 which admit a Riemannian metric with sectional curvature bounded in absolute value by |K| ≤ C and diameter uniformly bounded from above by D contains only finitely many diffeomorphism types. Thus in these dimensions the lower positive bound on volume in Cheeger’s F...
