Differentiable pseudo-free circle actions.

چکیده
The circle group G is said to act pseudofreely if it is not free and if every orbit is one-dimensional and if the isotropy group is the identity except on isolated exceptional orbits where the isotropy group is the finite cyclic group Z(k), k > 1. We consider differentiable actions of this kind on homotopy seven spheres and classify all such actions. As a corollary, it follows that there can be any finite number of exceptional orbits, in contrast to the linear case where there can be at most four.

Differentiable Classification of Some Topologically Linear Actions
Let G act smoothly on S with fixed point set diffeomorphic to S O^kt^n — 3, and with all other orbits of the same type and of dimension r. Connell, Montgomery and Yang have shown that the action of G is topologically equivalent to a linear action of S if n —r^5. The problem then arises as to what can be said about the differentiable classification of these topologically linear actions. In some ...
متن کاملRegularity of Solutions to Regular Shock Reflection for Potential Flow
The shock reflection problem is one of the most important problems in mathematical fluid dynamics, since this problem not only arises in many important physical situations but also is fundamental for the mathematical theory of multidimensional conservation laws that is still largely incomplete. However, most of the fundamental issues for shock reflection have not been understood, including the ...
متن کاملDifferentiable Z9 Actions on Homotopy Spheres
The results of [4] proved that many exotic spheres do not admit smooth actions of relatively high-dimensional compact Lie groups (all group actions considered in this paper are assumed to be effective). It was clear that stronger results should hold in certain cases, and this was confirmed in [5]. A notable feature of [5] is the use of nonexistence theorems for certain smooth circle actions to ...
متن کاملEdge covering pseudo-outerplanar graphs with forests
A graph is called pseudo-outerplanar if each block has an embedding on the plane in such a way that the vertices lie on a fixed circle and the edges lie inside the disk of this circle with each of them crossing at most one another. In this paper, we prove that each pseudo-outerplanar graph admits edge decompositions into a linear forest and an outerplanar graph, or a star forest and an outerpla...
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].
