G-ANR's with homotopy trivial fixed point sets
Let G be a compact group and X a G-ANR. Then X is a G-AR iff the H-fixed point set is homotopy trivial for each closed subgroup H ⊂ G.
The equivariant homotopy type of G-ANR's for proper actions of locally compact groups
We prove that if G is a locally compact Hausdorff group then every proper G-ANR space has the G-homotopy type of a G-CW complex. This is applied to extend the James-Segal G-homotopy equivalence theorem to the case of arbitrary locally compact proper group actions.
Affine group acting on hyperspaces of compact convex subsets of ℝⁿ
For every n ≥ 2, let cc(ℝⁿ) denote the hyperspace of all nonempty compact convex subsets of the Euclidean space ℝⁿ endowed with the Hausdorff metric topology. Let cb(ℝⁿ) be the subset of cc(ℝⁿ) consisting of all compact convex bodies. In this paper we discover several fundamental properties of the natural action of the affine group Aff(n) on cb(ℝⁿ). We prove that the space E(n) of all n-dimensional ellipsoids is an Aff(n)-equivariant retract of cb(ℝⁿ). This is applied to show that cb(ℝⁿ) is homeomorphic...
