Abstract: We prove a Hitchin-Thorpe inequality for noncompact 4-manifolds with foliated geometry at infinity by extending on previous work by Dai and Wei. After introducing the objects at hand, we recall some preliminary results regarding the -signature formula and the rho invariant, which are used to obtain expressions for the signature and Euler characteristic in our geometric context. We then derive our main result, and present examples.
If \(M\) is a closed oriented 4-dimensional Einstein manifold, then the famous Hitchin-Thorpe inequality says that \[ \chi(M)\geq \frac{3}{2}|\tau(M)|, \] where \(\chi(M)\) is the Euler characteristic and \(\tau(M)\) is the (Hirzebruch) signature. In 2007, Dai and Wei extended this inequality to the case of a noncompact manifold which has fibred geometry at infinity. In this paper, the author extends this inequality to the case where the manifolds have foliated geometry at infinity and presents examples.
