	~~The~~ '~~''Novikov conjecture''' is one of the most important unsolved problems in [[topology]]~~. It ~~is named for [[Sergei Novikov (mathematician)\|Sergei Novikov]] who originally posed the conjecture in 1965.~~

	~~The Novikov conjecture concerns the [[homotopy]] invariance of certain [[polynomial]]~~s ~~in the [[Pontryagin class]]es of~~ a ~~[[manifold (mathematics)\|manifold]], arising from the [[fundamental group]]. According~~ to the ~~Novikov conjecture, the ''higher signatures'', which are certain numerical invariants of smooth manifolds, are homotopy invariants~~.

	~~The conjecture~~ has been ~~proved~~ for ~~finitely generated [[abelian groups]]. It is not yet known whether the Novikov conjecture holds true for all groups. There are no known counterexamples to the conjecture.~~

	~~==Precise formulation of the conjecture==~~

	~~Let ''G'' be a [[discrete group]] and ''BG'' its [[classifying space]], which is a [[Eilenberg–Maclane space\|K(G,1)]] and therefore unique up to [[homotopy equivalence]] as a CW complex. Let~~

	~~:<math>f: M\rightarrow BG</math>~~

	~~be a continuous map from a closed oriented ''n''-dimensional manifold ''M'' to ''BG'', and~~

	~~:<math>x \in H^{n-4i} (BG;\mathbb{Q} ).</math>~~

	~~Novikov considered the numerical expression, found by evaluating the cohomology class in top dimension against the [[fundamental class]] [''M''], and known as a '''higher signature''':~~

	~~:<math>\left\langle f^*(x) \cup L_i(M),[M] \right\rangle \in \mathbb{Q}</math>~~

	where ''L''<sub>i</sub> is the ''i''<sup>th</sup> [[Hirzebruch polynomial]], or sometimes (less descriptively) as the ''i''<sup>th</sup> ''L''-polynomial. For each ''i'', this polynomial can be expressed in the Pontryagin classes of the manifold's tangent bundle. ~~The '''Novikov conjecture''' states that the higher signature is an invariant of the oriented homotopy type of ''M'' for every such map ''f'' and every such class ''x'', in other words, if~~ <~~math~~>~~h: M' \rightarrow M~~<~~/math~~> ~~is an orientation preserving homotopy equivalence, the higher signature associated to <math>f \circ h</math> is equal to that associated to ''f''.~~

	~~==Connection with the Borel conjecture==~~

	~~The Novikov conjecture is equivalent to the rational injectivity of the [[assembly map]] in [[L-theory]]. The~~
	~~[[Borel conjecture]] on the rigidity of aspherical manifolds is equivalent to the assembly map being an isomorphism.~~

Hi there, I am Alyson Pomerleau and I believe it sounds quite good when you say it. Office supervising is where her main income comes from but she's currently utilized for an additional one. Ohio is exactly where his house is and his family enjoys it. To play lacross is one of the things she enjoys most.<br><br>Check out my blog post :: psychic phone readings ([http://modenpeople.co.kr/modn/qna/292291 just click the up coming document])
