Isometric actions of Heisenberg groups on compact Lorentz manifolds
We prove results toward classifying compact Lorentz manifolds on which Heisenberg groups act isometrically. We give a general construction, leading to a new example, of codimension-one actions—those for which the dimension of the Heisenberg group is one less than the dimension of the manifold. The main result is a classification of codimension-one actions, under the assumption they are real-ana...
متن کاملSURGERY DESCRIPTION OF ORIENTATION-PRESERVING D2p-ACTIONS ON COMPACT ORIENTABLE 3-MANIFOLDS
In analogy with Przytycki’s and Sokolov’s “surgery description” of orientation-preserving periodic diffeomorphisms of closed orientable 3-manifolds [11] (see also [13]), we show that there is a “surgery description” for orientationpreserving D2p-periodic diffeomorphisms of 3-manifolds which are regular dihedral p-fold covering spaces, for p = 3, 5. This is a direct corollary of the main theorem...
متن کاملArithmetic Groups Acting on Compact Manifolds
In this note we announce results concerning the volume preserving actions of arithmetic subgroups of higher rank semisimple groups on compact manifolds. Our results can be considered as the first rigidity results for homomorphisms of these groups into diffeomorphism groups and show a sharp contrast between the behavior of actions of these groups and actions of free groups. Let G be a connected ...
متن کاملMinimal Odd Order Automorphism Groups
We show that 3 is the smallest order of a non-trivial odd order group which occurs as the full automorphism group of a finite group.
متن کاملEnds of groups and compact Kähler manifolds
Asking that a manifold admit a Kähler structure places swingeing restrictions on its topology. The best-known illustration of this comes from Hodge theory: one knows that when a complex structure on a manifold has a compatible symplectic structure, the decomposition of forms into Hodge types descends to cohomology, with far-reaching consequences. However, this turns out to be just the tip of th...
