Maximal actions of finite 2-groups on ℤ₂-homology 3-spheres

Mattia Mecchia (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is known that a finite 2-group acting on a ℤ₂-homology 3-sphere has at most ten conjugacy classes of involutions; the action of groups with the maximal number of conjugacy classes of involutions is strictly related to some questions concerning the representation of hyperbolic 3-manifolds as 2-fold branched coverings of knots. Using a low-dimensional approach we classify these maximal actions both from an algebraic and from a geometrical point of view.

Maximal Hamiltonian tori for polygon spaces

Jean-Claude Hausmann, Susan Tolman (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the poset of Hamiltonian tori for polygon spaces. We determine some maximal elements and give examples where maximal Hamiltonian tori are not all of the same dimension.

Measure preserving pseudo-groups and a theorem of Sacksteder

Joseph F. Plante (1975)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

This note is based on a theorem of Sacksteder which generalizes a classical result of Denjoy. Using this theorem and results on the existence of invariant measures, new results are obtained concerning minimal sets for groups of diffeomorphisms of the circle and for foliations of codimension one.

Measure-preserving homeomorphisms of noncompact manifolds and mass flow toward ends

Tatsuhiko Yagasaki (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Suppose M is a noncompact connected n-manifold and ω is a good Radon measure of M with ω(∂M) = 0. Let ℋ(M,ω) denote the group of ω-preserving homeomorphisms of M equipped with the compact-open topology, and E ( M , ω ) the subgroup consisting of all h ∈ ℋ(M,ω) which fix the ends of M. S. R. Alpern and V. S. Prasad introduced the topological vector space (M,ω) of end charges of M and the end charge homomorphism c ω : E ( M , ω ) ( M , ω ) , which measures for each h E ( M , ω ) the mass flow toward ends induced by h. We show that the map c ω has...

Metabelian groups acting on compact Riemann surfaces.

G. Gromadzki (1995)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

A metabelian group G acting as automorphism group on a compact Riemann surface of genus g ≥ 2 has order less than or equal to 16(g-1). We calculate for which values of g this bound is achieved and on these cases we calculate a presentation of the group G.

Metric Ricci Curvature and Flow for PL Manifolds

Emil Saucan (2013)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

We summarize here the main ideas and results of our papers [28], [14], as presented at the 2013 CIRM Meeting on Discrete curvature and we augment these by bringing up an application of one of our main results, namely to solving a problem regarding cube complexes.
