关于Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg猜想的正反结果

Positive and negative results concerning the Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture

Michael Joachim, Thomas Schick

摘要:

群G的Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg猜想指出,一个具有基本群G的闭自旋流形M ^n(n> 4)允许一个具有正数量曲率的度量当且仅当它的C ^*-指数A(M)在KO_n(C ^*_r(G))中为零。我们对于具有低维分类空间的群G证明了这一点,前提是G的组装映射是内射的。另一方面,我们构造了一个尺度> 0的无度量的自旋流形,使得它在KO_*(Bpi_1(M))中的KO-定向已经消失.因此,相应的弱化版本或GLR猜想是错误的。最后我们讨论了非可定向流形。我们给出Schoen和Yau的极小曲面方法的一个改进形式(推广到8维),并引入一个不可定向的形式,然后构造一个流形M,其定向覆盖允许一个正数量曲率度量,但M本身不允许. M也是GLR猜想的扭曲类比的反例,因为它的扭曲指数为零。

英文摘要:

The Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg-conjecture for a group G states that a closed spin manifold M^n (n>4) with fundamental group G admits a metric with positive scalar curvature if and only if its C^*-index A(M) in KO_n(C^*_r(G)) vanishes. We prove this for groups G with low-dimensional classifying space, provided the assembly map for G is injective. On the other hand, we construct a spin manifold with no metric with scal>0 but so that already its KO-orientation in KO_*(B pi_1(M)) vanishes. Therefore a corresponding weakened version or the GLR-conjecture is wrong. Last we address non-orientable manifolds. We give a reformulation of the minimal surface method of Schoen and Yau (extended to dimension 8) and introduce a non-orientable version of it. We then construct a manifold M whose orientation cover admits a metric of positive scalar curvature but where M itself does not. M is also a counterexample to a twisted analog of the GLR-conjecture because its twisted index vanishes.
