The C 1 generic diffeomorphism has trivial centralizer

Christian Bonatti, Sylvain Crovisier, Amie Wilkinson (2009)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Answering a question of Smale, we prove that the space of C 1 diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold contains a residual subset of diffeomorphisms whose centralizers are trivial.

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,...
