Kobayashi's pseudo-Riemannian space-form conjecture
Kobayashi's pseudo-Riemannian space-form conjecture
Let a pseudo-Riemannian space form of signature be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature , where . Kobayashi's pseudo-Riemannian space-form conjecture. There exists a compact space form with signature and sectional curvature if and only if one of the following holds: and is one of , , or ; and is arbitrary; or and is one of , , or . This conjecture proposes a precise classification of compact pseudo-Riemannian space forms by signature and curvature; the supplied text does not indicate that it has been resolved.
