The Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for some finite groups

The Gromov-Lmvson-Rosenberg conjecture for a group G states that a compact spin manifold with fundamental group G admits a metric of positive scalar curvature if and only if a certain topological obstruct ion vanishes. It is known to be true for G = 1 . if 0 has periodic cohomology, and if 0 is a fr...
