Aspherical Complex Surfaces, the Singer Conjecture, and Gromov-Lück Inequality
Michael Albanese, Luca F. Di Cerbo, Luigi Lombardi
We discuss the Singer conjecture and Gromov-Lück inequality for aspherical complex surfaces. We give a proof of the Singer conjecture for aspherical complex surface…

A rigidity theorem for Einstein -manifolds with sectional curvature of a fixed sign, and its consequences
Luca F. Di Cerbo
Any oriented -dimensional Einstein metric with semi-definite sectional curvature satisfies the pointwise inequality \[ \frac{|s|}{\sqrt{6}}\geq|W^+|+|W^-|, \] where , a…

Harmonic Forms, Price Inequalities, and Benjamini-Schramm Convergence
Luca F. Di Cerbo, Mark Stern
We study Betti numbers of sequences of Riemannian manifolds which Benjamini-Schramm converge to their universal covers. Using the Price inequalities we developed elsewhere, we deri…
