Rigidity and $L^2$ cohomology of hyperbolic manifolds

Abstract

When $X=Γ\backslash \H^n$ is a real hyperbolic manifold, it is already known that if the critical exponent is small enough then some cohomology spaces and some spaces of $L^2$ harmonic forms vanish. In this paper, we show rigidity results in the borderline case of these vanishing results.
