Michael Wiemeler (Universität Augsburg): Invariant metrics of positive scalar curvature on S^1-manifolds. (Oberseminar Topologie)
Monday, 11.05.2015 14:00 im Raum M6
In this talk we will discuss the construction of invariant metrics of
positive scalar curvature on manifolds $M$ with circle actions. We will
discuss two cases. First the case where there is a fixed point component
of codimension two. Then there is always an invariant metric of positive
scalar curvature on $M$.
The case where the fixed point set has codimension at least four is more
complicated. In this case the answer to the question if there is an
invariant metric of positive scalar curvature on $M$ depends on the
class of M in a certain equivariant bordism group. We will discuss the
case, where the maximal stratum of $M$ is simply connected and all
normal bundles to the singular strata are complex vector bundles, in
more detail. In this case there is an $l\in \mathbb{N}$ such that the
equivariant connected sum of $2^l$ copies of $M$ admits an invariant
metric of positive scalar curvature if and only if a
$\mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{2}]$-valued bordism invariant of $M$ vanishes.
