Area preserving group actions on surfaces

چکیده
Suppose G is an almost simple group containing a subgroup isomorphic to the three-dimensional Heisenberg group. For example any finite index subgroup of SL(3, Z) is such a group. The main result of this paper is that every action of G on a closed oriented surface by area preserving diffeomorphisms factors through a finite group.

متن کاملDeforming Area Preserving Diffeomorphism of Surfaces by Mean Curvature Flow
Let f : Σ1 → Σ2 be an area preserving diffeomorphism between compact Riemann surfaces of constant curvature. The graph of f can be viewed as a Lagrangian submanifold in Σ1 × Σ2. This article discusses a canonical way to deform f along area preserving diffeomorphisms. This deformation process is realized through the mean curvature flow of the graph of f in Σ1 × Σ2. It is proved that the flow exi...
متن کاملSubvarieties of Moduli Space Determined by Finite Groups Acting on Surfaces
Suppose the finite group G acts as orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the oriented surface S of genus g . This determines an irreducible subvariety Jtg of the moduli space J?g of Riemann surfaces of genus g consisting of all surfaces with a group Gx of holomorphic homeomorphisms of the same topological type as G. This family is determined by an equivalence class of epimorphisms <// from a...
متن کاملArea preserving group actions on S 2
The main result of this paper is that every action of a finite index subgroup of SL(3, Z) on S2 by area preserving diffeomorphisms factors through a finite group. An important tool we use, which may be of independent interest is the result that if F : S2 → S2 is a non-trivial, area preserving, orientation preserving diffeomorphism and if Fix(F ) contains at least three points, then F has points...
