چکیده
In this article we collect a series of observations that constrain actions of many groups on compact manifolds. In particular, we show that “generic” finitely generated groups have no smooth volume preserving actions on compact manifolds while also producing many finitely presented, torsion free groups with the same property.

Recently an action based on Lie 3-algebras was proposed to describe M2-branes. We study the case of infinite dimensional Lie 3-algebras based on the Nambu-Poisson structure of three dimensional manifolds. We show that the model contains self-dual 2-form gauge fields in 6 dimensions, and the result may be interpreted as the M5-brane world-volume action. 1 e-mail address: [email protected] 2 e...

We study a family of 3-dimensional Lorentz manifolds. Some members of the family are 0-curvature homogeneous, 1-affine curvature homogeneous , but not 1-curvature homogeneous. Some are 1-curvature homogeneous but not 2-curvature homogeneous. All are 0-modeled on indecomposible local symmetric spaces. Some of the members of the family are geodesically complete, others are not. All have vanishing...

We study the inverse spectral problem for weighted projective spaces using wave-trace methods. We show that in many cases one can “hear” the weights of a weighted projective space.

In this paper we prove a conjecture of B. Shoikhet. This conjecture states that the tangent isomorphism on homology, between the Poisson homology associated to a Poisson structure on R d and the Hochschild homology of its quantized star-product algebra , is an isomorphism of modules over the (isomorphic) respective cohomology algebras. As a consequence, we obtain a version of the Duflo isomorph...
