    Invariance of Finiteness of K-area under Surgery

    Full text link
    K-area is an invariant for Riemannian manifolds introduced by Gromov as an obstruction to the existence of positive scalar curvature. However in general it is difficult to determine whether K-area is finite or not. though the definition of K-area is quite natural. In this paper, we study how the invariant changes under surgery.Comment: 8 pages, 0 figure
