Connected components of the strata of the moduli spaces of quadratic differentials

Erwan Lanneau (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

In two fundamental classical papers, Masur [14] and Veech [21] have independently proved that the Teichmüller geodesic flow acts ergodically on each connected component of each stratum of the moduli space of quadratic differentials. It is therefore interesting to have a classification of the ergodic components. Veech has proved that these strata are not necessarily connected. In a recent work [8], Kontsevich and Zorich have completely classified the components in the particular case where the quadratic...

Connections in regular Poisson manifolds over ℝ-Lie foliations

Jan Kubarski (2000)

Banach Center Publications

The subject of this paper is the notion of the connection in a regular Poisson manifold M, defined as a splitting of the Atiyah sequence of its Lie algebroid. In the case when the characteristic foliation F is an ℝ-Lie foliation, the fibre integral operator along the adjoint bundle is used to define the Euler class of the Poisson manifold M. When M is oriented 3-dimensional, the notion of the index of a local flat connection with singularities along a closed transversal is defined. If, additionally,...

Constructing equivariant maps for representations

Stefano Francaviglia (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that if Γ is a discrete subgroup of the group of the isometries of k , and if ρ is a representation of Γ into the group of the isometries of n , then any ρ -equivariant map F : k n extends to the boundary in a weak sense in the setting of Borel measures. As a consequence of this fact, we obtain an extension of a result of Besson, Courtois and Gallot about the existence of volume non-increasing, equivariant maps. Then, we show that the weak extension we obtain is actually a measurable ρ -equivariant...

Constructing generic smooth maps of a manifold into a surface with prescribed singular loci

Osamu Saeki (1995)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

It is known that the singular set S ( f ) of a generic smooth map f : M N of an n -dimensional manifold into a surface is a closed 1-dimensional submanifold of M and that it has a natural stratification induced by the absolute index. In this paper, we give a complete characterization of those 1-dimensional (stratified) submanifolds which arise as the singular set of a generic map in terms of the homology class they represent.

Constructing manifolds by homotopy equivalences I. An obstruction to constructing PL-manifolds from homology manifolds

Hajime Sato (1972)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We aim at constructing a PL-manifold which is cellularly equivalent to a given homology manifold M n . The main theorem says that there is a unique obstruction element in H n - 4 ( M , 3 ) , where 3 is the group of 3-dimensional PL-homology spheres modulo those which are the boundary of an acyclic PL-manifold. If the obstruction is zero and M is compact, we obtain a PL-manifold which is simple homotopy equivalent to M .
