The Dehn functions of O u t ( F n ) and A u t ( F n )

Martin R. Bridson, Karen Vogtmann (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

For n at least 3, the Dehn functions of O u t ( F n ) and A u t ( F n ) are exponential. Hatcher and Vogtmann proved that they are at most exponential, and the complementary lower bound in the case n = 3 was established by Bridson and Vogtmann. Handel and Mosher completed the proof by reducing the lower bound for n bigger than 3 to the case n = 3 . In this note we give a shorter, more direct proof of this last reduction.

The Equivariant Bundle Subtraction Theorem and its applications

Masaharu Morimoto, Krzysztof Pawałowski (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

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,...

The hyperKähler geometry associated to Wolf spaces

Piotr Kobak, Andrew Swann (2001)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Sia G un grupo di Lie compatto e semplice. Sia O min la più piccola orbita nilpotente non-banale nell'algebra di Lie complessa g C . Si presenta una costruzione diretta di teoria di Lie delle metriche iperKahler su O min con potenziale Kahleriano G -invariante e compatibili con la forma simplettica complessa di Kostant-Kirillov-Souriau. In particolare si ottengono le metriche iperKahler dei fibrati associati sugli spazi di Wolf (spazi simmetrici quaternionali a curvatura scalare positiva).

Topological classification of multiaxial U ( n ) -actions (with an appendix by Jared Bass)

Sylvain Cappell, Shmuel Weinberger, Min Yan (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This paper begins the classification of topological actions on manifolds by compact, connected, Lie groups beyond the circle group. It treats multiaxial topological actions of unitary and symplectic groups without the dimension restrictions used in earlier works by M. Davis and W. C. Hsiang on differentiable actions. The general results are applied to give detailed calculations for topological actions homotopically modeled on standard multiaxial representation spheres. In the present topological...

Topological conjugation classes of tightly transitive subgroups of Homeo₊(ℝ)

Enhui Shi, Lizhen Zhou (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let ℝ be the real line and let Homeo₊(ℝ) be the orientation preserving homeomorphism group of ℝ. Then a subgroup G of Homeo₊(ℝ) is called tightly transitive if there is some point x ∈ X such that the orbit Gx is dense in X and no subgroups H of G with |G:H| = ∞ have this property. In this paper, for each integer n > 1, we determine all the topological conjugation classes of tightly transitive subgroups G of Homeo₊(ℝ) which are isomorphic to ℤⁿ and have countably many nontransitive points.

Topological transitivity of solvable group actions on the line ℝ

Suhua Wang, Enhui Shi, Lizhen Zhou, Grant Cairns (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let ϕ:G → Homeo₊(ℝ) be an orientation preserving action of a discrete solvable group G on ℝ. In this paper, the topological transitivity of ϕ is investigated. In particular, the relations between the dynamical complexity of G and the algebraic structure of G are considered.
