Compact differentiable transformation groups on exotic spheres.
We prove that the topological φ-category of a pair (M,N) of topological manifolds is infinite if the algebraic φ-category of the pair of fundamental groups (π₁(M),π₁(N)) is infinite. Some immediate consequences of this fact are also pointed out.
In this article, we present two possible extensions of the classical theory of equivariant cohomology. The first, due to P. Baum, R. MacPherson and the author, is called the “delocalized theory". We attempt to present it in very concrete form for a circle action on a smooth manifold. The second is the cyclic homology of the crossed- product algebra of the algebra of smooth functions on a manifold, by the convolution algebra of smooth functions on a Lie group, when such Lie group act on the manifold....
The aim of this paper is to prove that a control affine system on a manifold is equivalent by diffeomorphism to a linear system on a Lie group or a homogeneous space if and only if the vector fields of the system are complete and generate a finite dimensional Lie algebra. A vector field on a connected Lie group is linear if its flow is a one parameter group of automorphisms. An affine vector field is obtained by adding a left invariant one. Its projection on a homogeneous space, whenever it exists,...
Let be a topological group. We give the existence of an equivariant homology and cohomology theory, defined on the category of all -pairs and -maps, which both satisfy all seven equivariant Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms and have a given covariant and contravariant, respectively, coefficient system as coefficients.In the case that is a compact Lie group we also define equivariant -complexes and mention some of their basic properties.The paper is a short abstract and contains no proofs.
