The Yamabe invariant for non-simply connected manifolds
The Yamabe invariant is an invariant of a closed smooth manifold defined using conformal geometry and the scalar curvature. Recently, Petean showed that the Yamabe invariant is non-negative for all closed simply connected manifolds of dimension ≥ 5. We extend this to show that Yamabe invariant is non-negative for all closed manifolds of dimension ≥ 5 with fundamental group of odd order having a...
متن کاملOn Simply-connected 4-manifolds
This paper concerns (but does not succeed in performing) the diffeomorphism classification of closed, oriented, differential, simply-connected 4-manifolds. It arises out of the observation (due to Pontrjagin and Milnor [2]) that if two such manifolds Mx and M2 have isomorphic quadratic forms of intersection numbers on #2(Jft-), then there is a map / : M1-^-Mi which is a homotopy equivalence and...
متن کاملSimply Connected Manifolds of Positive Scalar Curvature
Hitchin proved that if M is a spin manifold with positive scalar curvature, then the A^O-characteristic number a(M) vanishes. Gromov and Lawson conjectured that for a simply connected spin manifold M of dimension > 5, the vanishing of a(M) is sufficient for the existence of a Riemannian metric on M with positive scalar curvature. We prove this conjecture using techniques from stable homotopy th...
متن کاملSimply Connected Symplectic Calabi-yau 6-manifolds
In this article, we construct simply connected symplectic Calabi-Yau 6-manifold by applying Gompf’s symplectic fiber sum operation along T. Using our method, we also construct symplectic nonKähler Calabi-Yau 6-manifolds with fundamental group Z. We also produce the first examples of simply connected symplectic Calabi-Yau and non-Calabi-Yau 6-manifolds via coisotropic Luttinger surgery on non si...
