An etale approach to the Novikov conjecture
A. Dranishnikov, S. Ferry, S. Weinberger
We show that the rational Novikov conjecture for a group of finite homological type follows from the mod 2 acyclicity of the Higson compactifcation of an E. We then show tha…
On the generalized Nielsen realization problem
Jonathan Block, Shmuel Weinberger
The main goal of this paper is to give the first examples of equivariant aspherical Poincare complexes, that are not realized by group actions on closed aspherical manifolds . T…
Hidden symmetry and arithmetic manifolds
Benson Farb, Shmuel Weinberger
A "hidden symmetry" of a Riemannian manifold M is an isometry of a d-sheeted, 1<d<\infty, Riemannian cover of M which is not the lift of any isometry. In this paper we characterize…
On the zero-in-the-spectrum conjecture
M. Farber, S. Weinberger
We prove that the answer to the "zero-in-the-spectrum" conjecture, in its form, suggested by J. Lott, is negative. Namely, we show that for any n > 5 there exists a closed n-dimens…
Higher p invariants
Shmuel Weinberger
The rho-invariant is an invariant of odd-dimensional manifolds with finite fundamental group, and lies in the representations modulo the regular representations (after tensoring wi…
