چکیده
We compute the L-cohomology spaces of some negatively curved manifolds. We deal with two cases: manifolds with finite volume and sufficiently pinched negative curvature, and conformally compact manifolds.

متن کاملTopology of Non-negatively Curved Manifolds
An important question in the study of Riemannian manifolds of positive sectional curvature is how to distinguish manifolds that admit a metric with non-negative sectional curvature from those that admit one of positive curvature. Surprisingly, if the manifolds are compact and simply connected, all known obstructions to positive curvature are already obstructions to non-negative curvature. On th...
متن کاملRing structures of mod p equivariant cohomology rings and ring homomorphisms between them
In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes ...

Non-negatively Curved Cohomogeneity One Manifolds Chenxu He Prof. Wolfgang Ziller, Advisor A Riemannian manifold M is called cohomogeneity one if it admits an isometric action by a compact Lie group G and the orbit space is one dimension. Many new examples of non-negatively curved manifolds were discovered recently in this category. However not every cohomogeneity one manifold carries an invari...
متن کاملCounting Open Negatively Curved Manifolds up to Tangential Homotopy Equivalence
Under mild assumptions on a group π, we prove that the class of complete Riemannian n–manifolds of uniformly bounded negative sectional curvatures and with the fundamental groups isomorphic to π breaks into finitely many tangential homotopy types. It follows that many aspherical manifolds do not admit complete negatively curved metrics with prescribed curvature bounds.
