Commuting involutions whose fixed point set consists of two special components

Pedro L. Q. Pergher, Rogério de Oliveira (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let Fⁿ be a connected, smooth and closed n-dimensional manifold. We call Fⁿ a manifold with property when it has the following property: if $N^{m}$ is any smooth closed m-dimensional manifold with m > n and $T : N^{m} \to N^{m}$ is a smooth involution whose fixed point set is Fⁿ, then m = 2n. Examples of manifolds with this property are: the real, complex and quaternionic even-dimensional projective spaces $R P^{2 n}$ , $C P^{2 n}$ and $H P^{2 n}$ , and the connected sum of $R P^{2 n}$ and any number of copies of Sⁿ × Sⁿ, where Sⁿ is the n-sphere...

Finite actions on the Klein four-orbifold and prism manifolds

John Kalliongis, Ryo Ohashi (2017)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We describe the finite group actions, up to equivalence, which can act on the orbifold $Σ (2, 2, 2)$ , and their quotient types. This is then used to consider actions on prism manifolds $M (b, d)$ which preserve a longitudinal fibering, but do not leave any Heegaard Klein bottle invariant. If $ϕ : G \to Homeo (M (b, d))$ is such an action, we show that $M (b, d) = M (b, 2)$ and $M (b, 2) / ϕ$ fibers over a certain collection of 2-orbifolds with positive Euler characteristic which are covered by $Σ (2, 2, 2)$ . For the standard actions, we compute the fundamental group of $M (b, 2) / ϕ$ and...

$Z ₂^{k}$ -actions with a special fixed point set

Pedro L. Q. Pergher, Rogério de Oliveira (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let Fⁿ be a connected, smooth and closed n-dimensional manifold satisfying the following property: if $N^{m}$ is any smooth and closed m-dimensional manifold with m > n and $T : N^{m} \to N^{m}$ is a smooth involution whose fixed point set is Fⁿ, then m = 2n. We describe the equivariant cobordism classification of smooth actions $(M^{m}; Φ)$ of the group $G = Z ₂^{k}$ on closed smooth m-dimensional manifolds $M^{m}$ for which the fixed point set of the action is a submanifold Fⁿ with the above property. This generalizes a result of F....

On weak $i$ -homotopy equivalences of modules

Zheng-Xu He (1984)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

Si definisce il gruppo di $i$ —omotopia di un singolo modulo e si introduce la nozione di equivalenza $i$ -omotopica debole. Sotto determinate condizioni per l'anello di base $\Lambda$ oppure per i moduli considerati, le equivalenze $i$ -omotopiche deboli coincidono con le equivalenze $i$ -omotopiche (forti).

Strong density for higher order Sobolev spaces into compact manifolds

Pierre Bousquet, Augusto C. Ponce, Jean Van Schaftingen (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Given a compact manifold $N^{n}$ , an integer $k \in ℕ_{*}$ and an exponent $1 \leq p < \infty$ , we prove that the class $C^{\infty} ({\bar{Q}}^{m}; N^{n})$ of smooth maps on the cube with values into $N^{n}$ is dense with respect to the strong topology in the Sobolev space $W^{k, p} (Q^{m}; N^{n})$ when the homotopy group $π_{⌊ k p ⌋} (N^{n})$ of order $⌊ k p ⌋$ is trivial. We also prove density of maps that are smooth except for a set of dimension $m - ⌊ k p ⌋ - 1$ , without any restriction on the homotopy group of $N^{n}$ .

Non-orbit equivalent actions of $𝔽_{n}$

Adrian Ioana (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

For any $2 \leq n \leq \infty$ , we construct a concrete 1-parameter family of non-orbit equivalent actions of the free group $𝔽_{n}$ . These actions arise as diagonal products between a generalized Bernoulli action and the action $𝔽_{n} ↷ (𝕋^{2}, λ^{2})$ , where $𝔽_{n}$ is seen as a subgroup of ${SL}_{2} (ℤ)$ .

G-functors, G-posets and homotopy decompositions of G-spaces

Stefan Jackowski, Jolanta Słomińska (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We describe a unifying approach to a variety of homotopy decompositions of classifying spaces, mainly of finite groups. For a group G acting on a poset W and an isotropy presheaf d:W → (G) we construct a natural G-map $h o c o l i m_{_{d}} G / d (-) \to | W |$ which is a (non-equivariant) homotopy equivalence, hence $h o c o l i m_{_{d}} E G \times_{G} F_{d} \to E G \times_{G} | W |$ is a homotopy equivalence. Different choices of G-posets and isotropy presheaves on them lead to homotopy decompositions of classifying spaces. We analyze higher limits over the categories associated to isotropy...

Explicit computations of all finite index bimodules for a family of II $_{1}$ factors

Stefaan Vaes (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We study II $_{1}$ factors $M$ and $N$ associated with good generalized Bernoulli actions of groups having an infinite almost normal subgroup with the relative property (T). We prove the following rigidity result : every finite index $M$ - $N$ -bimodule (in particular, every isomorphism between $M$ and $N$ ) is described by a commensurability of the groups involved and a commensurability of their actions. The fusion algebra of finite index $M$ - $M$ -bimodules is identified with an extended Hecke fusion algebra,...

Shadowing in actions of some Abelian groups

Sergei Yu. Pilyugin, Sergei B. Tikhomirov (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study shadowing properties of continuous actions of the groups $ℤ^{p}$ and $ℤ^{p} \times ℝ^{p}$ . Necessary and sufficient conditions are given under which a linear action of $ℤ^{p}$ on $ℂ^{m}$ has a Lipschitz shadowing property.

Lagrangian fibrations on hyperkähler manifolds – On a question of Beauville

Daniel Greb, Christian Lehn, Sönke Rollenske (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $X$ be a compact hyperkähler manifold containing a complex torus $L$ as a Lagrangian subvariety. Beauville posed the question whether $X$ admits a Lagrangian fibration with fibre $L$ . We show that this is indeed the case if $X$ is not projective. If $X$ is projective we find an almost holomorphic Lagrangian fibration with fibre $L$ under additional assumptions on the pair $(X, L)$ , which can be formulated in topological or deformation-theoretic terms. Moreover, we show that for any such almost holomorphic...

Twisted group rings of strongly unbounded representation type

Leonid F. Barannyk, Dariusz Klein (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let S be a commutative local ring of characteristic p, which is not a field, S* the multiplicative group of S, W a subgroup of S*, G a finite p-group, and $S^{λ} G$ a twisted group ring of the group G and of the ring S with a 2-cocycle λ ∈ Z²(G,S*). Denote by $I n d_{m} (S^{λ} G)$ the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable $S^{λ} G$ -modules of S-rank m. We exhibit rings $S^{λ} G$ for which there exists a function $f_{λ} : ℕ \to ℕ$ such that $f_{λ} (n) \geq n$ and $I n d_{f_{λ} (n)} (S^{λ} G)$ is an infinite set for every natural n > 1. In special cases $f_{λ} (ℕ)$ contains every natural...

Relative exactness modulo a polynomial map and algebraic $(ℂ^{p}, +)$ -actions

Philippe Bonnet (2003)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Let $F = (f_{1}, ..., f_{q})$ be a polynomial dominating map from $ℂ^{n}$ to $ℂ^{q}$ . We study the quotient $𝒯^{1} (F)$ of polynomial 1-forms that are exact along the generic fibres of $F$ , by 1-forms of type $d R + \sum a_{i} d f_{i}$ , where $R, a_{1}, ..., a_{q}$ are polynomials. We prove that $𝒯^{1} (F)$ is always a torsion $ℂ [t_{1}, ..., t_{q}]$ -module. Then we determine under which conditions on $F$ we have $𝒯^{1} (F) = 0$ . As an application, we study the behaviour of a class of algebraic $(ℂ^{p}, +)$ -actions on $ℂ^{n}$ , and determine in particular when these actions are trivial.

The signature package on Witt spaces

Pierre Albin, Éric Leichtnam, Rafe Mazzeo, Paolo Piazza (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

In this paper we prove a variety of results about the signature operator on Witt spaces. First, we give a parametrix construction for the signature operator on any compact, oriented, stratified pseudomanifold $X$ which satisfies the Witt condition. This construction, which is inductive over the ‘depth’ of the singularity, is then used to show that the signature operator is essentially self-adjoint and has discrete spectrum of finite multiplicity, so that its index—the analytic signature...

$Z ₂^{k}$ -actions fixing point ∪ Vⁿ

Pedro L. Q. Pergher (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We describe the equivariant cobordism classification of smooth actions $(M^{m}, Φ)$ of the group $G = Z ₂^{k}$ on closed smooth m-dimensional manifolds $M^{m}$ for which the fixed point set of the action is the union F = p ∪ Vⁿ, where p is a point and Vⁿ is a connected manifold of dimension n with n > 0. The description is given in terms of the set of equivariant cobordism classes of involutions fixing p ∪ Vⁿ. This generalizes a lot of previously obtained particular cases of the above question; additionally,...

Geometric stability of the cotangent bundle and the universal cover of a projective manifold

Frédéric Campana, Thomas Peternell (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We first prove a strengthening of Miyaoka’s generic semi-positivity theorem: the quotients of the tensor powers of the cotangent bundle of a non-uniruled complex projective manifold $X$ have a pseudo-effective (instead of generically nef) determinant. A first consequence is that $X$ is of general type if its cotangent bundle contains a subsheaf with ‘big’ determinant. Among other applications, we deduce that if the universal cover of $X$ is not covered by compact positive-dimensional analytic...

On finite groups acting on a connected sum of 3-manifolds S² × S¹

Bruno P. Zimmermann (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let $H_{g}$ denote the closed 3-manifold obtained as the connected sum of g copies of S² × S¹, with free fundamental group of rank g. We prove that, for a finite group G acting on $H_{g}$ which induces a faithful action on the fundamental group, there is an upper bound for the order of G which is quadratic in g, but there does not exist a linear bound in g. This implies then a Jordan-type bound for arbitrary finite group actions on $H_{g}$ which is quadratic in g. For the proofs we develop a calculus...

Monodromy of a family of hypersurfaces

Vincenzo Di Gennaro, Davide Franco (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $Y$ be an $(m + 1)$ -dimensional irreducible smooth complex projective variety embedded in a projective space. Let $Z$ be a closed subscheme of $Y$ , and $δ$ be a positive integer such that $ℐ_{Z, Y} (δ)$ is generated by global sections. Fix an integer $d \geq δ + 1$ , and assume the general divisor $X \in | H^{0} (Y, ℐ_{Z, Y} (d)) |$ is smooth. Denote by $H^{m} {(X; ℚ)}_{⊥ Z}^{van}$ the quotient of $H^{m} (X; ℚ)$ by the cohomology of $Y$ and also by the cycle classes of the irreducible components of dimension $m$ of $Z$ . In the present paper we prove that the monodromy representation on $H^{m} {(X; ℚ)}_{⊥ Z}^{van}$ for the family...

Complex structures on product of circle bundles over complex manifolds

Parameswaran Sankaran, Ajay Singh Thakur (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let ${\bar{L}}_{i} \to X_{i}$ be a holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold for $i = 1, 2$ . Let $S_{i}$ denote the associated principal circle-bundle with respect to some hermitian inner product on ${\bar{L}}_{i}$ . We construct complex structures on $S = S_{1} \times S_{2}$ which we refer to as scalar, diagonal, and linear types. While scalar type structures always exist, the more general diagonal but non-scalar type structures are constructed assuming that ${\bar{L}}_{i}$ are equivariant ${(ℂ^{*})}^{n_{i}}$ -bundles satisfying some additional conditions....

Open Subsets of LF-spaces

Kotaro Mine, Katsuro Sakai (2008)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Let F = ind lim Fₙ be an infinite-dimensional LF-space with density dens F = τ ( ≥ ℵ ₀) such that some Fₙ is infinite-dimensional and dens Fₙ = τ. It is proved that every open subset of F is homeomorphic to the product of an ℓ₂(τ)-manifold and $ℝ^{\infty} = i n d l i m ℝ ⁿ$ (hence the product of an open subset of ℓ₂(τ) and $ℝ^{\infty}$ ). As a consequence, any two open sets in F are homeomorphic if they have the same homotopy type.

Bipartite coalgebras and a reduction functor for coradical square complete coalgebras

Justyna Kosakowska, Daniel Simson (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let C be a coalgebra over an arbitrary field K. We show that the study of the category C-Comod of left C-comodules reduces to the study of the category of (co)representations of a certain bicomodule, in case C is a bipartite coalgebra or a coradical square complete coalgebra, that is, C = C₁, the second term of the coradical filtration of C. If C = C₁, we associate with C a K-linear functor $ℍ_{C} : C - C o m o d \to H_{C} - C o m o d$ that restricts to a representation equivalence $ℍ_{C} : C - c o m o d \to H_{C} - c o m o d_{s p}^{•}$ , where $H_{C}$ is a coradical square complete hereditary...

A Note on Lax Projective Embeddings of Grassmann Spaces

Eva Ferrara Dentice (2018)

Rendiconto dell’Accademia delle Scienze Fisiche e Matematiche

Similarity:

In the paper (Ferrara Dentice et al., 2004) a complete exposition of the state of the art for lax embeddings of polar spaces of ﬁnite rank $\geq 3$ is presented. As a consequence, we have that if a Grassmann space $G$ of dimension 3 and index 1 has a lax embedding in a projective space over a skew–ﬁeld $K$ , then $G$ is the Klein quadric deﬁned over a subﬁeld of $K$ . In this paper, I examine Grassmann spaces of arbitrary dimension $d\geq 3$ and index $h\geq 1$ having a lax embedding in a projective space.
