Finiteness theorem

From Diffgeom

This article describes a result related to the sectional curvature of a Riemannian manifold

Statement

Let n∈N, Λ<∞, D<∞m and v>0. Then consider the space S of differential manifolds M admitting a metric g for which:

dim(M)=n,|K|≤Λ,diam(M)≤D,vol(M)≥v

where K denotes the sectional curvature.

Then, S consists of finitely many diffeomorphism classes/types.
