正数量曲率--结构与障碍

Positive scalar curvature -- constructions and obstructions

Stephan Stolz

摘要:

这是一个调查的当前状态的问题“哪些闭连通流形的尺寸$n\ge 5$承认黎曼度量的数量曲率功能是积极的?“引言简要概述了这些结果,而本文的主体讨论了这些结果的证明中使用的方法。我们提到了两种拓扑阻碍\pscm的存在:一种是狄拉克算子的Weizenböck公式的推论,另一种是通过考虑稳定的极小超曲面得到的。我们讨论了\pscm s的尺规作图法(手术/配边定理),它表明上述问题的答案仅取决于适当配边群中流形的配边类。通过庞特里亚金-托姆构造,这可以转化为稳定同伦理论,并在某些情况下完全解决,特别是对于单连通流形,或具有非常特殊的基本群的流形。最后一节讨论了一些悬而未决的问题。

英文摘要:

This is a survey of the current state of the question "Which closed connected manifolds of dimension $n\ge 5$ admit Riemannian metrics whose scalar curvature function is everywhere positive?" The introduction gives a brief overview of these results, while the body of the paper discusses the methods used in the proofs of these results. We mention the two flavors of topological obstructions to the existence of \pscm s: one is a consequence of the Weizenböck formula for the Dirac operator, the other is obtained by considering stable minimal hypersurfaces. We talk about geometric constructions of \pscm s (the surgery/bordism theorem), which shows that the answer to the question above depends only the bordism class of the manifold in a suitable bordism group. Via the Pontryagin-Thom construction this can be translated into stable homotopy theory, and solved completely in some cases, in particular for simply connected manifolds, or manifolds with very special fundamental groups. The last section discusses some open questions.
