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...
