Analytic torsion on manifolds under locally compact group actions

Universal Properties of Group Actions on Locally Compact Spaces

We study universal properties of locally compact G-spaces for countable infinite groups G. In particular we consider open invariant subsets of the G-space βG, and their minimal closed invariant subspaces. These are locally compact free G-spaces, and the latter are also minimal. We examine the properties of these G-spaces with emphasis on their universal properties. As an example of our results,...

Analytic fields on compact balanced Hermitian manifolds

On a Hermitian manifold we construct a symmetric (1, 1)tensor H using the torsion and the curvature of the Chern connection. On a compact balanced Hermitian manifold we find necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of the tensor H for a harmonic 1-form to be analytic and for an analytic 1form to be harmonic. We prove that if H is positive definite then the first Betti number b1 = 0 and the ...

On Locally Lipschitz Locally Compact Transformation Groups of Manifolds

In this paper we show that a “locally Lipschitz” locally compact transformation group acting continuously and effectively on a connected paracompact locally Euclidean topological manifold is a Lie group. This is a contribution to the proof of the Hilbert-Smith conjecture. It generalizes the classical Bochner-Montgomery-Kuranishi Theorem[1, 9] and also the Repovš-Ščepin Theorem [17] which holds ...

Lie group actions on compact

Let G be a homotopically trivial and effective compact Lie group action on a compact manifold N of nonpositive curvature. Under certain assumptions on N we prove that if G has dimension equal to rank of Center π1(N), then G must be connected. Furthermore, if on N there exists a point having negative definite Ricci tensor, then we show that G is the trivial group.
