Constructing Invariant Heine-borel Metrics for Proper G-spaces
We show that a group G acts properly and effectively on a locally compact and σ-compact metric space (X, d) if and only if there exists a compatible G-invariant Heine-Borel metric dp on X such that G is homeomorphic to a closed subgroup of the group of isometries Iso(X, dp).
متن کاملInvariant Metrics on G-spaces
Let X be a G-space such that the orbit space X/G is metrizable. Suppose a family of slices is given at each point of X. We study a construction which associates, under some conditions on the family of slices, with any metric on X/G an invariant metric on X. We show also that a family of slices with the required properties exists for any action of a countable group on a locally compact and local...
متن کاملG-structures Defined on Pseudo-riemannian Manifolds
Concepts and techniques from the theory of G-structures of higher order are applied to the study of certain structures (volume forms, conformal structures, linear connections and projective structures) defined on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. Several relationships between the structures involved have been investigated. The operations allowed on G-structures, such as intersection, inclusion, red...
متن کاملExtremal G-invariant Eigenvalues of the Laplacian of G-invariant Metrics
The study of extremal properties of the spectrum often involves restricting the metrics under consideration. Motivated by the work of Abreu and Freitas in the case of the sphere S endowed with S-invariant metrics, we consider the subsequence λ k of the spectrum of a Riemannian manifold M which corresponds to metrics and functions invariant under the action of a compact Lie group G. If G has dim...
متن کاملThe Transverse Geometry of G-manifolds and Riemannian Foliations
Given a compact Riemannian manifold on which a compact Lie group acts by isometries, it is shown that there exists a Riemannian foliation whose leaf closure space is naturally isometric (as a metric space) to the orbit space of the group action. Furthermore, this isometry (and foliation) may be chosen so that a leaf closure is mapped to an orbit with the same volume, even though the dimension o...
