The Gromov-lawson-rosenberg Conjecture for Cocompact Fuchsian Groups
We prove the Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for cocompact Fuchsian groups, thereby giving necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed spin manifold of dimension greater than four with fundamental group cocompact Fuchsian to admit a metric of positive scalar curvature. Given a smooth closed manifold M, it is a long-standing question to determine whether or notM admits a Riemannian metri...
متن کاملGromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture
Doing surgery on the 5-torus, we construct a 5-dimensional closed spin-manifold M with π1(M) ∼= Z ×Z/3, so that the index invariant in the KO-theory of the reduced C-algebra of π1(M) is zero. Then we use the theory of minimal surfaces of Schoen/Yau to show that this manifolds cannot carry a metric of positive scalar curvature. The existence of such a metric is predicted by the (unstable) Gromov...
متن کاملThe Gromov Lawson Rosenberg Conjecture for Groups with Periodic Cohomology
vanishes Note that index D M unlike the dimension of the ker nel and the dimension of the cokernel of D M is independent of the metric used in the construction of D M In fact according to the Atiyah Singer Index Theorem it is equal to a topological invariant A M the A genus ofM cf Ch III Thm We recall that A M is a characteristic number de ned by evaluating a certain polyno mial in the Pontrjag...
متن کاملPositive and negative results concerning the Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture
The Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg (GLR)-conjecture for a group Γ states that a closed spin manifold M (n ≥ 5) with fundamental group Γ admits a metric with scal > 0 if and only if its C-index α(M) ∈ KOn(C ∗ red (Γ)) vanishes. We prove this for groups Γ with lowdimensional classifying space and products of such groups with free abelian groups, provided the assembly map for the group Γ is (split) injec...
متن کاملSmall Generators of Cocompact Arithmetic Fuchsian Groups
In the study of Fuchsian groups, it is a nontrivial problem to determine a set of generators. Using a dynamical approach we construct for any cocompact arithmetic Fuchsian group a fundamental region in SL2(R) from which we determine a set of small generators.
