As an application, we show that the Chern's conjecture is true for a closed affinely flat manifold whose holonomy group action permits an invariant probability Borel measure on RP^n; that is, such a closed affinly flat manifold has a vanishing Euler characteristic.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-10-22T03:05:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57R20", "53C15" ], "keywords": [ "euler characteristic", "invariant measure", "invariant probability borel measure", "holonomy group action permits", "dimensional closed projectively flat manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math.....10335J" } } }
