Abstract/Summary:
The present paper is concerned with the study of the L 2 cohomology spaces of negatively curved manifolds. The first half presents a finiteness and vanishing result obtained under some curvature assumptions, while the second half identifies a large class of metrics having the same L2 cohomology as the Hyperbolic space. For the second part we rely on the Heat-Flow method initiated by M.Gaffney.
