The alpha invariant of complete intersections

Abstract

We compute the alpha invariant of any smooth complex projective spin complete intersection of complex dimension 1  (mod  4)1 \; ({\rm mod} \; 4). We prove that the alpha invariant depends only on the total degree and Pontryagin classes. Our findings are consistent with a long-standing conjecture, often called the Sullivan Conjecture, which states that two complete intersections with the same dimensions, total degrees, Pontryagin and Euler classes are diffeomorphic.
