The Degree of a Map Between Surfaces.
In the theory of transformation groups, it is important to know what kind of isotropy subgroups of G do occur at points of the space upon which the given group G acts. In this article, for a finite group G, we prove the Equivariant Bundle Subtraction Theorem (Theorem 2.2) which allows us to construct smooth G-manifolds with prescribed isotropy subgroups around the G-fixed point sets. In Theorem 0.1, we restate Oliver's result about manifolds M and G-vector bundles over M that occur, respectively,...
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.
This paper is a continuation of [19], [21], [22]. We study flat connections with isolated singularities in some transitive Lie algebroids for which either or or are isotropy Lie algebras. Under the assumption that the dimension of the isotropy Lie algebra is equal to , where is the dimension of the base manifold, we assign to any such isolated singularity a real number called an index. For -Lie algebroids, this index cannot be an integer. We prove the index theorem (the Euler-Poincaré-Hopf...
