On the linearization theorem for proper Lie groupoids

Marius Crainic, Ivan Struchiner (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We revisit the linearization theorems for proper Lie groupoids around general orbits (statements and proofs). In the fixed point case (known as Zung’s theorem) we give a shorter and more geometric proof, based on a Moser deformation argument. The passage to general orbits (Weinstein) is given a more conceptual interpretation: as a manifestation of Morita invariance. We also clarify the precise statements of the Linearization Theorem (there has been some confusion on this, which has propagated throughout...

The systolic constant of orientable Bieberbach 3-manifolds

Chady El Mir, Jacques Lafontaine (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

A compact manifold is called Bieberbach if it carries a flat Riemannian metric. Bieberbach manifolds are aspherical, therefore the supremum of their systolic ratio, over the set of Riemannian metrics, is finite by a fundamental result of M. Gromov. We study the optimal systolic ratio of compact 3 -dimensional orientable Bieberbach manifolds which are not tori, and prove that it cannot be realized by a flat metric. We also highlight a metric that we construct on one type of such manifolds ( C 2 ) which...
