AbstractThe present paper is concerned with the study of the L2 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 class of metrics having non-trivial L2 cohomology for degree equal to the half dimension of the space. For the second part we rely on the existence and regularity properties of the solution for the heat equation for forms.

We associate determinant lines to objects of the extended abelian category built out of a von Neumann category with a trace. Using this we suggest constructions of the combinatorial and the analytic L2 torsions which, unlike the work of the previous authors, requires no additional assumptions; in particular we do not impose the determinant class condition. The resulting torsions are elements of the determinant line of the extended L2 cohomology. Under the determinant class assumption the L2 torsions of this paper specialize to the invariants studied in our previous work [6]. Applying a recent theorem of D. Burghelea, L. Friedlander and T. Kappeler [3] we obtain a Cheeger–Müller type theorem stating the equality between the combinatorial and the analytic L2 torsions.
