Group actions on fibered three-manifolds.
We study the homology of the fixed point set on a rational homology sphere under the action of a finite group.
Nous présentons quelques résultats au sujet des groupes engendrés par trois involutions antiholomorphes dans le cadre du plan hyperbolique complexe .
We consider groups of orientation-preserving real analytic diffeomorphisms of the circle which have a finite image under the rotation number function. We show that if such a group is nondiscrete with respect to the -topology then it has a finite orbit. As a corollary, we show that if such a group has no finite orbit then each of its subgroups contains either a cyclic subgroup of finite index or a nonabelian free subgroup.
Hass, Rubinstein, and Scott showed that every closed aspherical (irreducible) 3-manifold whose fundamental group contains the fundamental group of a closed aspherical surface, is covered by Euclidean space. This theorem does not generalize to higher dimensions. However, we provide geometric tools with which variations of this theorem can be proved in all dimensions.
