Using a variation of a method developed by Avramidi and Nyguen-Phan, we show that any such manifold $M$ possesses, up to finite coverings, an arbitrarily large number of compact oriented flat totally geodesic $r$-dimensional submanifolds whose fundamental classes are linearly independent in the real homology group $H_r(M;\\mathbb{R})$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-11-05T14:33:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57T99", "11F75", "22E40", "53C35" ], "keywords": [ "riemannian manifolds", "homology classes", "geometric construction", "real homology group", "compact oriented flat totally geodesic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
