Higher Todd classes and holomorphic group actions
Jonathan Block, Shmuel Weinberger
This paper attempts to provide an analogue of the Novikov conjecture for algebraic (or Kähler) manifolds. Inter alia, we prove a conjecture of Rosenberg's on the birational invaria…
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…
Isometries, rigidity, and universal covers
Benson Farb, Shmuel Weinberger
We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyper…
