Invariance of Finiteness of K-area under Surgery
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
