Involutions on Tori with Codimension-one Fixed Point Set
نویسنده
چکیده
The standard P. A. Smith theory of p-group actions on spheres, disks, and euclidean spaces is extended to the case of p-group actions on tori (i.e., products of circles) and coupled with topological surgery theory to give a complete topological classification, valid in all dimensions, of the locally linear, orientation-reversing, involutions on tori with fixed point set of codimension one.

Involutions on the the Barnes - Wall lattices and their fixed point sublattices , I . version 18
We study the sublattices of the rank 2d Barnes-Wall lattices BW2d which occur as fixed points of involutions. They have ranks 2d−1 (for dirty involutions) or 2d−1 ± 2k−1 (for clean involutions), where k, the defect, is an integer at most d2 . We discuss the involutions on BW2d and determine the isometry groups of the fixed point sublattices for all involutions of defect 1. Transitivity results ...
متن کاملInvolutions of negatively curved groups with wild boundary behavior
We are interested in examples of compact, complete, locally CAT(-1) spaces X, and closed totally geodesic codimension two subspaces Y , with the property that ∂∞X̃ = Sn+2 ∞ , and ∂ ∞Ỹ = Sn ∞. We show that if the inclusion S n ∞ ↪→ Sn+2 ∞ induced by the inclusion Y ⊂ X is knotted, then it is a totally wild knot (i.e. nowhere tame). We give examples where the inclusion Sn ∞ ↪→ Sn+2 ∞ is indeed kno...
متن کاملTori Invariant under an Involutorial Automorphism I
Let G be a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over an field k of characteristic not 2, θ ∈ Aut(G) an involutional k-automorphism of G and K = Gθ = {g ∈ G | θ(g) = g} the set of fixed points of θ. Denote the set of k-rational points of G by Gk. In this paper we shall classify the K-conjugacy classes of θ-stable maximal tori of G. This is shown to be independent of the characteris...
متن کاملAn Algorithm to List All the Fixed-Point Free Involutions on a Finite Set
A fixed-point free involution on a finite set S is defined as a bijection I : S → S such as ∀e ∈ S, I(I(e)) = e and ∀e ∈ S, I(e) 6= e. In this article, the fixed-point free involutions are represented as partitions of the set S, and some properties linked to this representation are exhibited. Then an optimal algorithm to list all the fixed-point free involutions is presented. Its soundess relie...
متن کاملInvolutions on Spin 4-manifolds
We show that a simply-connected spin 4-manifold which admits a locally linear involution must have vanishing signature. We also show that the codimensions of all components of the fixed point set of an involution on a spin 4-manifold are the same modulo 4 . There is no assumption of local linearity in this result, which extends a lemma of Atiyah and Bott. This note records two results about inv...
