Moore's Conjecture for connected sums

Moore's Conjecture for connected sums
Moore's Conjecture for connected sums
We show that under mild conditions the connected sum M#N of simply-connected, closed, orientable n-dimensional Poincare Duality complexes M and N is hyperbolic and has no homotopy exponent at all but finitely many primes, verifying a weak version of Moore’s Conjecture. This is derived from an elementary framework involving CW-complexes satisfying certain conditions.

Abstract

We show that under mild conditions the connected sum M#N of simply-connected, closed, orientable n-dimensional Poincare Duality complexes M and N is hyperbolic and has no homotopy exponent at all but finitely many primes, verifying a weak version of Moore’s Conjecture. This is derived from an elementary framework involving CW-complexes satisfying certain conditions.
