Group Actions and the Topology of Nonnegatively Curved 4-manifolds ?
We consider nonnegatively curved 4-manifolds that admit effective isometric actions by nite groups and from that draw topological conclusions about the manifold. Our rst theorem shows that if the man-ifolds admits an isometric Zp Zp for p large enough that the manifold has Euler characteristic less than or equal to ve. Our second theorem requires no hypothesis on the structure of the group othe...
متن کاملRigidity for Nonnegatively Curved Metrics
We address the question: how large is the family of complete metrics with nonnegative sectional curvature on S × R? We classify the connection metrics, and give several examples of non-connection metrics. We provide evidence that the family is small by proving some rigidity results for metrics more general than connection metrics.
متن کاملSpace of Nonnegatively Curved Metrics and Pseudoisotopies
Let V be an open manifold with complete nonnegatively curved metric such that the normal sphere bundle to a soul has no section. We prove that the souls of nearby nonnegatively curved metrics on V are smoothly close. Combining this result with some topological properties of pseudoisotopies we show that for many V the space of complete nonnegatively curved metrics has infinite higher homotopy gr...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OF NONNEGATIVELY CURVED HYPERSURFACES WITH PRESCRIBED BOUNDARY IN Rn
We prove that a smooth compact immersed submanifold of codimension 2 in R, n ≥ 3, bounds at most finitely many topologically distinct compact nonnegatively curved hypersurfaces. Analogous results for noncompact fillings are obtained as well. On the other hand, we show that these topological finiteness theorems may not hold if the prescribed boundary is not sufficiently regular, e.g., C. In part...
متن کاملNonnegatively Curved Vector Bundles with Large Normal Holonomy Groups
When B is a biquotient, we show that there exist vector bundles over B with metrics of nonnegative curvature whose normal holonomy groups have arbitrarily large dimension.
