Localization in the classification of flat manifolds

Peter Andrew Symonds

Vol. 127 (1987), No. 2, 389–399
Abstract

Two compact flat Riemannian manifolds are called comparable if each one is a covering space of the other in such a way that the covering maps are affine and both the compositions of the covering maps increase distance locally by a constant factor. Considering comparability classes instead of affine-equivalence classes corresponds to localizing the algebra in calculations.
