关于Gromov和Lawson猜想的注记

Remarks on a conjecture of Gromov and Lawson

William Dwyer, Thomas Schick, Stephan Stolz

摘要:

Gromov和Lawson证明了基本群为π的n维闭自旋流形M有一个正数量曲率度量当且仅当KO_n(B π)中的一个相伴元为零.在这份说明中,我们提出反例的“如果”的一部分,这猜想的群体pi是无挠的,其分类空间是一个流形与负曲率(在亚历山德罗夫意义上)。

英文摘要:

Gromov and Lawson conjectured that a closed spin manifold M of dimension n with fundamental group pi admits a metric with positive scalar curvature if and only if an associated element in KO_n(B pi) vanishes. In this note we present counter examples to the `if' part of this conjecture for groups pi which are torsion free and whose classifying space is a manifold with negative curvature (in the Alexandrov sense).
