The Teichmüller space of pinched negatively curved metrics on a hyperbolic manifold is not contractible
For a smooth manifold M we define the Teichmüller space T (M) of all Riemannian metrics on M and the Teichmüller space T ǫ(M) of ǫ-pinched negatively curved metrics on M , where 0 ≤ ǫ ≤ ∞. We prove that if M is hyperbolic the natural inclusion T ǫ(M) →֒ T (M) is, in general, not homotopically trivial. In particular, T ǫ(M) is, in general, not contractible. Section 0. Introduction. Let M be a clo...
متن کاملCross Curvature Flow on a Negatively Curved Solid Torus
The classic 2π-Theorem of Gromov and Thurston constructs a negatively curved metric on certain 3-manifolds obtained by Dehn filling. By Geometrization, any such manifold admits a hyperbolic metric. We outline a program using cross curvature flow to construct a smooth one-parameter family of metrics between the “2π-metric” and the hyperbolic metric. We make partial progress in the program, provi...
متن کاملOn the Topology of the Space of Negatively Curved Metrics
We show that the space of negatively curved metrics of a closed negatively curved Riemannian n-manifold, n ≥ 10, is highly non-connected. Section 0. Introduction. Let M be a closed smooth manifold. We denote by MET (M) the space of all smooth Riemannian metrics on M and we consider MET (M) with the smooth topology. Note that the space MET (M) is contractible. A subspace of metrics whose section...
متن کاملIntersection Pairing in Hyperbolic Manifolds, Vector Bundles and Characteristic Classes
We present some constraints on the intersection pairing in hyperbolic manifolds. We also show that, given a closed negatively curved manifold M of dimension at least three, only nitely many rank k oriented vector bundles over M can admit complete hyperbolic metrics. x0. Introduction Hyperbolic manifolds are locally symmetric Riemannian manifolds of negative sectional curvature. Any complete hyp...

Let be a differentiable action of a Lie group on a differentiable manifold and consider the orbit space with the quotient topology. Dimension of is called the cohomogeneity of the action of on . If is a differentiable manifold of cohomogeneity one under the action of a compact and connected Lie group, then the orbit space is homeomorphic to one of the spaces , , or . In this paper we suppo...
