On residue formulas for characteristic numbers

Francisco Gómez Ruiz (2009)

Banach Center Publications

We show that coefficients of residue formulas for characteristic numbers associated to a smooth toral action on a manifold can be taken in a quotient field Q ( X , . . . , X r ) . This yields canonical identities over the integers and, reducing modulo two, residue formulas for Stiefel Whitney numbers.

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...

Orbit projections as fibrations

Armin Rainer (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The orbit projection π M M / G of a proper G -manifold M is a fibration if and only if all points in M are regular. Under additional assumptions we show that π is a quasifibration if and only if all points are regular. We get a full answer in the equivariant category: π is a G -quasifibration if and only if all points are regular.
