On the number of diffeomorphism classes in a certain class of Riemannian manifolds

  • Takao Yamaguchi (a1)
Extract

The study of finiteness for Riemannian manifolds, which has been done originally by J. Cheeger [5] and A. Weinstein [13], is to investigate what bounds on the sizes of geometrical quantities imply finiteness of topological types, —e.g. homotopy types, homeomorphism or diffeomorphism classes-— of manifolds admitting metrics which satisfy the bounds. For a Riemannian manifold M we denote by RM and KM respectively the curvature tensor and the sectional curvature, by Vol (M) the volume, and by diam(M) the diameter.
