Correspondence between diffeomorphism groups and singular foliations

Tomasz Rybicki (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

It is well-known that any isotopically connected diffeomorphism group G of a manifold determines a unique singular foliation G . A one-to-one correspondence between the class of singular foliations and a subclass of diffeomorphism groups is established. As an illustration of this correspondence it is shown that the commutator subgroup [G,G] of an isotopically connected, factorizable and non-fixing C r diffeomorphism group G is simple iff the foliation [ G , G ] defined by [G,G] admits no proper minimal sets....

Counting fixed points of a finitely generated subgroup of Aff [C].

F. Loray, M. Van Der Put, F. Recher (2004)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Given a finitely generated subgroup G of the group of affine transformations acting on the complex line C, we are interested in the quotient Fix( G)/G. The purpose of this note is to establish when this quotient is finite and in this case its cardinality. We give an application to the qualitative study of polynomial planar vector fields at a neighborhood of a nilpotent singular point.

Covering maps over solenoids which are not covering homomorphisms

Katsuya Eda, Vlasta Matijević (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let Y be a connected group and let f: X → Y be a covering map with the total space X being connected. We consider the following question: Is it possible to define a topological group structure on X in such a way that f becomes a homomorphism of topological groups. This holds in some particular cases: if Y is a pathwise connected and locally pathwise connected group or if f is a finite-sheeted covering map over a compact connected group Y. However, using shape-theoretic techniques and Fox's notion...
