Topological Rigidity and Actions on Contractible Manifolds with Discrete Singular Set
The problem of equivariant rigidity is the Γ-homeomorphism classification of Γ-actions on manifolds with compact quotient and with contractible fixed sets for all finite subgroups of Γ. In other words, this is the classification of cocompact EfinΓ-manifolds. We use surgery theory, algebraic K-theory, and the Farrell–Jones Conjecture to give this classification for a family of groups which satis...
متن کاملRigidity of pseudo-free group actions on contractible manifolds
In this article, we announce joint work with Frank Connolly and Jim Davis [6]. This follows an earlier case study of pseudo-free involutions on the n-torus carried out in [5]. The author is grateful to the organizers of the RIMS conferences where these results were disseminated in Asia: Transformation Groups and Surgery Theory (Masayuki Yamasaki, August 2010), Transformation Groups and Combinat...
متن کاملFree Circle Actions with Contractible Orbits on Symplectic Manifolds
We prove that closed symplectic four-manifolds do not admit any smooth free circle actions with contractible orbits, without assuming that the actions preserve the symplectic forms. In higher dimensions such actions by symplectomorphisms do exist, and we give explicit examples based on the constructions of [5].
متن کاملTopological Rigidity for Hyperbolic Manifolds
Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold having constant sectional curvature —1 and finite volume. Let M denote its Gromov-Margulis manifold compactification and assume that the dimension of M is greater than 5. (If M is compact, then M = M and dM is empty.) We announce (among other results) that any homotopy equivalence h: (N,dN) —• (M,dM), where N is a compact manifold, is homotopic to a homeo...
متن کاملTopological rigidity for non-aspherical manifolds by
The Borel Conjecture predicts that closed aspherical manifolds are topological rigid. We want to investigate when a non-aspherical oriented connected closed manifold M is topological rigid in the following sense. If f : N → M is an orientation preserving homotopy equivalence with a closed oriented manifold as target, then there is an orientation preserving homeomorphism h : N → M such that h an...
