Bundles with negatively curved fibers
by
F. Thomas Farrell
Binghamton University
Coauthors: Pedro Ontaneda

This talk represents joint work with Pedro Ontaneda and gives an application of his talk to bundle theory. The title of my talk can have two meanings. One meaning is that each fiber F(x), as the point x varies over the base space B, is diffeomorphic to a negatively curved Riemannian manifold F. The other meaning is that each fiber F(x) is equipped with a negatively curved Riemannian metric b(x) which "varies continuously" with x. My talk is about comparing these two notions.
