On Mostow rigidity for variable negative curvature
We prove a finiteness theorem for the class of complete finite volume Riemannian manifolds with pinched negative sectional curvature, fixed fundamental group, and of dimension ≥ 3. One of the key ingredients is that the fundamental group of such a manifold does not admit a small nontrivial action on an R -tree.
متن کاملMostow Rigidity
1 The Proof Modulo some Analysis 1.1 Statement of the Result Given any metric space (X, d), a map H : X → X is BL (bi-lipshitz) if there is some constant K > 0 such that d(H(x), H(y)) ∈ [K, K] d(x, y), ∀x, y ∈ X. (1) Here is a limited form of Mostow Rigidity: Theorem 1.1 (Mostow) Suppose that M1 and M2 are both compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds. If there is a BL map f : M1 → M2 then there is an is...
متن کاملMostow Rigidity for Fuchsian Buildings
We show that if a homeomorphism between the ideal boundaries of two Fuchsian buildings preserves the combinatorial cross ratio almost everywhere, then it extends to an isomorphism between the Fuchsian buildings. It follows that Mostow rigidity holds for Fuchsian buildings: if a group acts properly and cocompactly on two Fuchsian buildings X and Y , then X and Y are equivariantly isomorphic. Mat...
متن کاملRigidity in Non-negative Curvature
In this paper we will show that any complete manifold of nonnegative curvature has a flat soul provided it has curvature going to zero at infinity. We also show some similar results about manifolds with bounded curvature at infinity. To establish these theorems we will prove some rigidity results for Riemannian submersions, eg., any Riemannian submersion with complete flat total space and compa...
متن کاملEinstein Metrics and Mostow Rigidity
Using the new diffeomorphism invariants of Seiberg and Witten, a uniqueness theorem is proved for Einstein metrics on compact quotients of irreducible 4-dimensional symmetric spaces of non-compact type. The proof also yields a Riemannian version of the Miyaoka-Yau inequality. A smooth Riemannian manifold (M, g) is said [1] to be Einstein if its Ricci curvature is a constant multiple of g. Any i...
