The torus-fibration conjecture for closed manifolds with flat degenerate metrics
The torus-fibration conjecture for closed manifolds with flat degenerate metrics
Let be a closed manifold carrying a flat, possibly degenerate, non-negative definite metric of rank .
Torus-fibration conjecture. is finitely covered by a manifold diffeomorphic to a fiber bundle over an -dimensional torus.
This conjecture proposes a global structural description for manifolds with flat possibly degenerate metrics, extending the paper's local results on flat coordinates. The supplied source does not indicate that the conjecture has been resolved.
