\(L_p\)-cohomology of negatively curved manifolds (Q2368550)

The author obtains the \(L^p\) cohomology of the complete manifolds of finite volume and pinched negative curvature. The method can be applied to the case of conformally compact manifolds. The main results are: Theorem. 1.1. Let \((M^n,g)\) be a complete \(n\)-dimensional manifold of finite volume and pinched negative curvature \(-1\leq K\leq -a^2<0\). Assume that \(p\geq 1\) is a real number, and \(k\) an integer such that \(k>(n+1+2(p-1)a)/(1+(p-1)a)\). Then we have the isomorphism \(H^k_p(M)\simeq H^k_c(M)\), where \(H^k_c(M)\) denotes the compact supported cohomology of \(M\). Theorem 1.2. Let \((M^n,g)\) be a conformally compact \(n\)-dimensional manifold. Assume that \(p\geq 1\) is a real number and \(k\) an integer such that \(k<(n-10)/p\). Then we have the isomoprhism \(H^k_p(M)\simeq H^k_c(M)\).
