Groups of homeomorphisms related to locally trivial bundles are studied. It is shown that these groups are perfect. Moreover if the homeomorphism isotopy group of the base is bounded then the bundle homeomorphism group of the total space is uniformly perfect.
The theory of covering spaces is often used to prove the Nielsen-Schreier theorem, which states that every subgroup of a free group is free. We apply the more general theory of semicovering spaces to obtain analogous subgroup theorems for topological groups: Every open subgroup of a free Graev topological group is a free Graev topological group. An open subgroup of a free Markov topological group is a free Markov topological group if and only if it is disconnected.
The orbit projection of a proper -manifold is a fibration if and only if all points in are regular. Under additional assumptions we show that is a quasifibration if and only if all points are regular. We get a full answer in the equivariant category: is a -quasifibration if and only if all points are regular.
Let be a source locally trivial proper Lie groupoid such that each orbit is of finite type. The orbit projection is a fibration if and only if is regular.
Let G be a compact Lie group. We present a criterion for the orbit spaces of two G-spaces to be homotopy equivalent and use it to obtain a quick proof of Webb’s conjecture for compact Lie groups. We establish two Minami type formulae which present the p-localised spectrum as an alternating sum of p-localised spectra for subgroups H of G. The subgroups H are calculated from the collections of the non-trivial elementary abelian p-subgroups of G and the non-trivial p-radical subgroups of G. We...
