Dehn filling: A survey

C. Gordon — 1998

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we give a brief survey of the present state of knowledge on exceptional Dehn fillings on 3-manifolds with torus boundary. For our discussion, it is necessary to first give a quick overview of what is presently known, and what is conjectured, about the structure of 3-manifolds. This is done in Section 2. In Section 3 we summarize the known bounds on the distances between various kinds of exceptional Dehn fillings, and compare these with the distances that arise in known examples. In...

Transitive riemannian isometry groups with nilpotent radicals

C. Gordon — 1981

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Given that a connected Lie group G with nilpotent radical acts transitively by isometries on a connected Riemannian manifold M , the structure of the full connected isometry group A of M and the imbedding of G in A are described. In particular, if G equals its derived subgroup and its Levi factors are of noncompact type, then G is normal in A . In the special case of a simply transitive action of G on M , a transitive normal subgroup G ' of A is constructed with dim G ' = dim G and a sufficient condition is given...
