The strengthened Euler characteristic-signature inequality conjecture for aspherical 4-manifolds
The strengthened Euler characteristic-signature inequality conjecture for aspherical 4-manifolds
Let be a closed, oriented, aspherical -manifold. Write for its Euler characteristic and for its signature. Strengthened Euler characteristic-signature inequality conjecture. Then
This is a stronger proposed geography constraint than the inequality ; it is known for surface bundles over surfaces by a result of Hamenstädt, but remains open for general closed, oriented, aspherical -manifolds.
