On the differential geometry of some classes of infinite dimensional manifolds

Maysam Maysami Sadr, Danial Bouzarjomehri Amnieh (2024)

Archivum Mathematicum

Albeverio, Kondratiev, and Röckner have introduced a type of differential geometry, which we call lifted geometry, for the configuration space Γ X of any manifold X . The name comes from the fact that various elements of the geometry of Γ X are constructed via lifting of the corresponding elements of the geometry of X . In this note, we construct a general algebraic framework for lifted geometry which can be applied to various “infinite dimensional spaces” associated to X . In order to define a lifted...

On the first homology of automorphism groups of manifolds with geometric structures

Kōjun Abe, Kazuhiko Fukui (2005)

Open Mathematics

Hermann and Thurston proved that the group of diffeomorphisms with compact support of a smooth manifold M which are isotopic to the identity is a perfect group. We consider the case where M has a geometric structure. In this paper we shall survey on the recent results of the first homology of the diffeomorphism groups which preserve a smooth G-action or a foliated structure on M. We also work in Lipschitz category.

On the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms

Takashi Tsuboi (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

The group of real analytic diffeomorphisms of a real analytic manifold is a rich group. It is dense in the group of smooth diffeomorphisms. Herman showed that for the n -dimensional torus, its identity component is a simple group. For U ( 1 ) fibered manifolds, for manifolds admitting special semi-free U ( 1 ) actions and for 2- or 3-dimensional manifolds with nontrivial U ( 1 ) actions, we show that the identity component of the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms is a perfect group.

On the homeomorphism groups of manifolds and their universal coverings

Agnieszka Kowalik, Tomasz Rybicki (2011)

Open Mathematics

Let H c(M) stand for the path connected identity component of the group of all compactly supported homeomorphisms of a manifold M. It is shown that H c(M) is perfect and simple under mild assumptions on M. Next, conjugation-invariant norms on Hc(M) are considered and the boundedness of Hc(M) and its subgroups is investigated. Finally, the structure of the universal covering group of Hc(M) is studied.

On the homotopy type of Diff ( M n ) and connected problems

Dan Burghelea (1973)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

This paper reports on some results concerning:a) The homotopy type of the group of diffeomorphisms Diff ( M n ) of a differentiable compact manifold M n (with C -topology).b) the result of the homotopy comparison of this space with the group of all homeomorphisms Homeo M n (with C o -topology). As a biproduct, one gets new facts about the homotopy groups of Diff ( D n , D n ) , Top n , Top n / O n and about the number of connected components of the space of topological and combinatorial pseudoisotopies.The results are contained in Section 1 and Section...

On the uniform perfectness of groups of bundle homeomorphisms

Tomasz Rybicki (2019)

Archivum Mathematicum

Groups of homeomorphisms related to locally trivial bundles are studied. It is shown that these groups are perfect. Moreover if the homeomorphism isotopy group of the base is bounded then the bundle homeomorphism group of the total space is uniformly perfect.
