We show that a closed, connected, oriented, Riemannian n-manifold, admitting a branched cover of bounded length distortion from R, has a virtually Abelian fundamental group.

Tits Alternative for Closed Real Analytic 4-manifolds of Nonpositive Curvature

We study subgroups of fundamental groups of real analytic closed 4-manifolds with nonpositive sectional curvature. In particular, we are interested in the following question: if a subgroup of the fundamental group is not virtually free abelian, does it contain a free group of rank two ? The technique involves the theory of general metric spaces of nonpositive curvature.

Geometries and Infrasolvmanifolds in Dimension 4

We show that every torsion-free virtually poly-Z group of Hirsch length 4 is the fundamental group of a closed 4-manifold with a geometry of solvable Lie type. Geometric 4-manifolds of solvable Lie type are infrasolvmanifolds, and their fundamental groups are torsion-free virtually poly-Z group π of Hirsch length 4. We shall show that every such group is realized geometrically. In general, ever...

Fundamental Classes Not Representable by Products

We prove that rationally essential manifolds with suitably large fundamental groups do not admit any maps of non-zero degree from products of closed manifolds of positive dimension. Particular examples include all manifolds of non-positive sectional curvature of rank one and all irreducible locally symmetric spaces of non-compact type. For closed manifolds from certain classes, say non-positive...

The Yamabe invariant for non-simply connected manifolds

The Yamabe invariant is an invariant of a closed smooth manifold defined using conformal geometry and the scalar curvature. Recently, Petean showed that the Yamabe invariant is non-negative for all closed simply connected manifolds of dimension ≥ 5. We extend this to show that Yamabe invariant is non-negative for all closed manifolds of dimension ≥ 5 with fundamental group of odd order having a...
