On stability of 3-manifolds

Sławomir Kwasik, Witold Rosicki (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We address the following question: How different can closed, oriented 3-manifolds be if they become homeomorphic after taking a product with a sphere? For geometric 3-manifolds this paper provides a complete answer to this question. For possibly non-geometric 3-manifolds, we establish results which concern 3-manifolds with finite fundamental group (i.e., 3-dimensional fake spherical space forms) and compare these results with results involving fake spherical space...

Spherical harmonics on Grassmannians

Roger Howe, Soo Teck Lee (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We propose a generalization of the theory of spherical harmonics to the context of symmetric subgroups of reductive groups acting on flag manifolds. We give some sample results for the case of the orthogonal group acting on Grassmann manifolds, especially the case of 2-planes.
