Thurston conjectured that a closed triangulated 3-manifold in which every edge has degree 5 or 6, and no two edges of degree 5 lie in a common 2-cell, has word-hyperbolic fundamental group. We establish Thurston’s conjecture by proving that such a manifold admits a piecewise Euclidean metric of non-positive curvature and the universal cover contains no isometrically embedded flat planes. The pr...

Let (Mn, g) be a compact Kähler manifold with nonpositive bisectional curvature. We show that a finite cover is biholomorphic and isometric to a flat torus bundle over a compact Kähler manifold Nk with c1 < 0. This confirms a conjecture of Yau. As a corollary, for any compact Kähler manifold with nonpositive bisectional curvature, the Kodaira dimension is equal to the maximal rank of the Ricci ...

Thurston conjectured that a closed triangulated 3-manifold in which every edge has degree 5 or 6, and no two edges of degree 5 lie in a common 2-cell, has word-hyperbolic fundamental group. We establish Thurston's conjecture by proving that such a manifold admits a piece-wise Euclidean metric of non-positive curvature and the universal cover contains no isometrically embedded flat planes.

In this paper‎, ‎we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat‎ ‎ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎Von Neumann regular rings‎, ‎hereditary rings‎, ‎semi-hereditary ring‎, ‎PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings‎. ‎In the context domain‎, ‎this notion coincide with‎ ‎Pr"{u}fer domain‎. ‎We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for‎...

in 2001, s. bulman-fleming et al. initiated the study of three flatness properties (weakly kernel flat, principally weakly kernel flat, translation kernel flat) of right acts $a_{s}$ over a monoid $s$ that can be described by means of when the functor $a_{s} otimes -$ preserves pullbacks. in this paper, we extend these results to$s$-posets and present equivalent descriptions of weakly kernel po...

Fix an algebraic space S, and let X and Y be separated Artin stacks of finite presentation over S with finite diagonals (over S). We define a stack HomS(X ,Y) classifying morphisms between X and Y. Assume that X is proper and flat over S, and fppf–locally on S there exists a finite finitely presented flat cover Z → X with Z an algebraic space. Then we show that HomS(X ,Y) is an Artin stack with...

In the theory of schemes, faithfully flat descent is a very powerful tool. One wants a descent theory not only for quasi-coherent sheaves and morphisms of schemes (which is rather elementary), but also for geometric objects and properties of morphisms between them. In rigid-analytic geometry, descent theory for coherent sheaves was worked out by Bosch and Görtz [BG, 3.1] under some quasi-compac...

‎We call a ring $R$ right generalized semiperfect if every simple right $R$-module is an epimorphic image of a flat right $R$-module with small kernel‎, ‎that is‎, ‎every simple right $R$-module has a flat $B$-cover‎. ‎We give some properties of such rings along with examples‎. ‎We introduce flat strong covers as flat covers which are also flat $B$-covers and give characterizations of $A$-perfe...
