Se p 20 09 SMOOTH ( NON ) RIGIDITY OF CUSP - DECOMPOSABLE MANIFOLDS
نویسنده
چکیده
We define cusp-decomposable manifolds and prove smooth rigidity within this class of manifolds. These manifolds generally do not admit a nonpositively curved metric but can be decomposed into pieces that are diffeomorphic to finite volume, locally symmetric, negatively curved manifolds with cusps. We prove that the group of outer automorphisms of the fundamental group of such a manifold is an extension of an abelian group by a finite group. Elements of the abelian group are induced by diffeomorphisms that are analogous to Dehn twists in surface topology. We also prove that the outer automophism group can be realized by a group of diffeomorphisms of the manifold.

Annals of Probability 31(2003), 2109-2135. Invariant man-ifolds provide the geometric structures for describing and understanding dynamics of nonlinear systems. The theory of invariant manifolds for both finite and infinite dimensional autonomous deterministic systems, and for stochastic ordinary differential equations is relatively mature. In this paper, we present a unified theory of invarian...
متن کاملA Fake Cusp and a Fishtail
We construct smooth 4-manifolds that are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to the “cusp” and the “fishtail”, which are thickened singular 2-spheres. Even though many fake smoothings of 4-manifolds are known to exists, we know little about the basic building blocks of exotic smooth manifolds. This is mainly due to the fact that we still don’t know if basic manifolds like S, S ×S, and S ×S could...
متن کاملSe p 20 03 A Proof On Weinstein Conjecture On Cotangent Bundles ∗
In this article, we prove that there exists at least one closed characteristics of Reeb vector field in a connected contact manifolds of induced type in the cotangent bundles of any open smooth manifolds which confirms completely the Weinstein conjecture in cotangent bundles of open manifold.
متن کاملMultiple point of self-transverse immesions of certain manifolds
In this paper we will determine the multiple point manifolds of certain self-transverse immersions in Euclidean spaces. Following the triple points, these immersions have a double point self-intersection set which is the image of an immersion of a smooth 5-dimensional manifold, cobordant to Dold manifold $V^5$ or a boundary. We will show there is an immersion of $S^7times P^2$ in $mathbb{R}^{1...
متن کاملSe p 20 09 On the f - invariant of products
The f -invariant is a higher version of the e-invariant that takes values in the divided congruences between modular forms; in the situation of a cartesian product of two framed manifolds, the f -invariant can actually be computed from the e-invariants of the factors. The purpose of this note is to determine the f -invariant of all such products.
