Group actions on 4-manifolds: some recent results and open questions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A survey of finite group actions on symplectic 4-manifolds is given with a special emphasis on results and questions concerning smooth or symplectic classification of group actions, group actions and exotic smooth structures, and homological rigidity and boundedness of group actions. We also take this opportunity to include several results and questions which did not appear elsewhere.

A Survey of Group Actions on 4-manifolds
Almost 50 years of work on group actions and the geometric topology of 4-manifolds, from the 1960’s to the present, from knotted fixed point sets to Seiberg-Witten invariants, is surveyed. Locally linear actions are emphasized, but differentiable and purely topological actions are also discussed. The presentation is organized around some of the fundamental general questions that have driven the...
متن کاملACTION OF SEMISIMPLE ISOMERY GROUPS ON SOME RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS OF NONPOSITIVE CURVATURE
A manifold with a smooth action of a Lie group G is called G-manifold. In this paper we consider a complete Riemannian manifold M with the action of a closed and connected Lie subgroup G of the isometries. The dimension of the orbit space is called the cohomogeneity of the action. Manifolds having actions of cohomogeneity zero are called homogeneous. A classic theorem about Riemannian manifolds...
متن کاملTheory of valuations on manifolds: a survey
This is a non-technical survey of a recent theory of valuations on manifolds constructed in [10]-[13] and actually a guide to this series of articles. We review also some recent related results obtained by a number of people. We formulate some open questions.
متن کاملCobordism of symplectic manifolds and asymptotic expansions
The cobordism ring B∗ of symplectic manifolds defined by V. L. Ginzburg is isomorphic to the Pontrjagin ring of complex-oriented manifolds with free circle actions. This provides an interpretation of the formal group law of complex cobordism as a composition-law on certain asymptotic expansions. An appendix discusses some related questions about toric manifolds.
متن کاملFixed-Point Free Circle Actions on 4-Manifolds
This paper is concerned with fixed-point free S-actions (smooth or locally linear) on orientable 4-manifolds. We show that the fundamental group plays a predominant role in the equivariant classification of such 4-manifolds. In particular, it is shown that for any finitely presented group with infinite center, there are at most finitely many distinct smooth (resp. topological) 4-manifolds which...
