Infinite group actions on spheres.

Gaven J. Martin (1988)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

This paper is mainly intended as a survey of the recent work of a number of authors concerning certain infinite group actions on spheres and to raise some as yet unanswered questions. The main thrust of the current research in this area has been to decide what topological and geometrical properties characterise the infinite conformal or Möbius groups. One should then obtain reasonable topological or geometrical restrictions on a subgroup G of the homeomorphism group of a sphere which will imply...

Integration over homogeneous spaces for classical Lie groups using iterated residues at infinity

Magdalena Zielenkiewicz (2014)

Open Mathematics

Using the Berline-Vergne integration formula for equivariant cohomology for torus actions, we prove that integrals over Grassmannians (classical, Lagrangian or orthogonal ones) of characteristic classes of the tautological bundle can be expressed as iterated residues at infinity of some holomorphic functions of several variables. The results obtained for these cases can be expressed as special cases of one formula involving the Weyl group action on the characters of the natural representation of...

Invariant metrics on G -spaces

Bogusław Hajduk, Rafał Walczak (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let X be a G -space such that the orbit space X / G is metrizable. Suppose a family of slices is given at each point of X . We study a construction which associates, under some conditions on the family of slices, with any metric on X / G an invariant metric on X . We show also that a family of slices with the required properties exists for any action of a countable group on a locally compact and locally connected metric space.

Invariants of translation surfaces

Pascal Hubert, Thomas A. Schmidt (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We definite invariants of translation surfaces which refine Veech groups. These aid in exact determination of Veech groups. We give examples where two surfaces of isomorphic Veech group cannot even share a common tree of balanced affine coverings. We also show that there exist translation surfaces of isomorphic Veech groups which cannot affinely cover any common surface. We also extend a result of Gutkin and Judge and thereby give the first examples of noncompact Fuchsian...

Involutions of 3-dimensional handlebodies

Andrea Pantaleoni, Riccardo Piergallini (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study the orientation preserving involutions of the orientable 3-dimensional handlebody H g , for any genus g. A complete classification of such involutions is given in terms of their fixed points.

Involutions on tori with codimension-one fixed point set

Allan L. Edmonds (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The standard P. A. Smith theory of p-group actions on spheres, disks, and euclidean spaces is extended to the case of p-group actions on tori (i.e., products of circles) and coupled with topological surgery theory to give a complete topological classification, valid in all dimensions, of the locally linear, orientation-reversing, involutions on tori with fixed point set of codimension one.
