Let $(X,g)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold with a lower bound on the average of the lowest $n-p$ eigenvalues of the curvature operator and the diameter of $X$ is bounded above by $D>0$. In this article, we…

We study manifolds with almost nonnegative curvature operator (ANCO) and provide first examples of closed simply connected ANCO mannifolds that do not admit nonnegative curvature operator.

In this short note, as a simple application of the strong result proved recently by B\"ohm and Wilking, we give a classification on closed manifolds with 2-nonnegative curvature operator. Moreover, by the new invariant cone constructions of…

We study the topology of closed, simply-connected, 6-dimensional Riemannian manifolds of positive sectional curvature which admit isometric actions by $SU(2)$ or $SO(3)$. We show that their Euler characteristic agrees with that of the known…

It is well-known that odd-dimensional manifolds have Euler characteristic zero. Furthemore orientable manifolds have an even Euler characteristic unless the dimension is a multiple of $4$. We prove here a generalisation of these statements:…

We investigate the curvature operator of the second kind on Riemannian manifolds and prove several classification results. The first one asserts that a closed Riemannian manifold with three-positive curvature operator of the second kind is…

We consider the Euler characteristics $\chi(M)$ of closed orientable topological $2n$-manifolds with $(n-1)$-connected universal cover and a given fundamental group $G$ of type $F_n$. We define $q_{2n}(G)$, a generalized version of the…

A theorem of Grove and Searle directly establishes that positive curvature 2d manifolds M with effective circular symmetry group of dimension 8 or less have positive Euler characteristic X(M): the fixed point set N consists of even…

It is established in [6, 14, 23] that any closed Einstein manifold with two-nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind is either flat or a round sphere. In this paper, we refine this result by relaxing the curvature condition to a…

Manifolds admitting positive sectional curvature are conjectured to have rigid homotopical structure and, in particular, comparatively small Euler charateristics. In this article, we obtain upper bounds for the Euler characteristic of a…

Given a perverse sheaf on the moduli stack of principally polarized abelian varieties or the moduli stack of smooth curves with n marked points over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that the (orbifold) Euler characteristic is…

This paper studies existence of $n=4k (k>1)$ dimensional simply-connected closed almost complex manifold with Betti number $ b_i=0$ except $i=0, n/2, n$. We characterize all the rational cohomology rings of such manifolds and show they must…

We determine several necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed almost-complex orbifold $Q$ with cyclic local groups to admit a nonvanishing vector field. These conditions are stated separately in terms of the orbifold Euler-Satake…

In this note, we prove that if a compact even dimensional manifold $M^{n}$ with negative sectional curvature is homotopic to some compact space-like manifold $N^{n}$, then the Euler characteristic number of $M^{n}$ satisfies…

This article aims to investigate the curvature operator of the second kind on K\"ahler manifolds. The first result states that an $m$-dimensional K\"ahler manifold with $\frac{3}{2}(m^2-1)$-nonnegative (respectively,…

A rigidity result for a class of compact generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds with constant scalar curvature is obtained. Moreover, under some geometric assumptions, the rigidity for the noncompact case is also proved. Considering non…

Using Bochner techniques, we prove that a compact Einstein manifold of dimension $n \ge 4$ has constant curvature provided that the curvature operator of the second kind satisfies a cone condition that is strictly weaker than nonnegativity.…

In a 1967 paper, Banchoff stated that a certain type of polyhedral curvature, that applies to all finite polyhedra, was zero at all vertices of an odd-dimensional polyhedral manifold; one then obtains an elementary proof that…

We prove that the Euler characteristic of an even-dimensional compact manifold with positive (nonnegative) sectional curvature is positive (nonnegative) provided that the manifold admits an isometric action of a compact Lie group $G$ with…

We prove that complete Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n\ge3$ with harmonic curvature and $\frac{n(n+2)}{2(n+1)}$-nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind must be Einstein. In particular, We show that complete Einstein manifolds…
