A generalized \(\pi 2\)-diffeomorphism finiteness theorem




Abstract: The pi2-diffeomorphism finiteness result (cite{FR1,2}, cite{PT}) asserts that the diffeomorphic types of compact n-manifolds M with vanishing first and second homotopy groups can be bounded above in terms of n, and upper bounds on the absolute value of sectional curvature and diameter of M. In this paper, we will generalize this pi2-diffeomorphism finiteness by removing the condition that pi1(M)=0 and asserting the diffeomorphism finiteness on the Riemannian universal cover of M.
