The Signature and Arithmetic Genus of Certain Aspherical Manifolds
The Signature and Arithmetic Genus of Certain Aspherical Manifolds
In this paper we show that the signature and arithmetic genus of certain aspherical manifolds M vanish when the center of itx M is nontrivial.We make the possibly technical assumption that ttx M is residually finite.0. Introduction.Gottlieb [4] has shown that the Euler characteristic of a finite, aspherical polyhedron X …
