On space-time, reference frames and the structure of relativity groups
On symmetrically growing bodies.
This work presents a setting for the formulation of the mechanics of growing bodies. By the mechanics of growing bodies we mean a theory in which the material structure of the body does not remain fixed. Material points may be added or removed from the body.

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

On the first homology of automorphism groups of manifolds with geometric structures
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
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 -dimensional torus, its identity component is a simple group. For fibered manifolds, for manifolds admitting special semi-free actions and for 2- or 3-dimensional manifolds with nontrivial 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
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 and connected problems
This paper reports on some results concerning:a) The homotopy type of the group of diffeomorphisms of a differentiable compact manifold (with -topology).b) the result of the homotopy comparison of this space with the group of all homeomorphisms Homeo (with -topology). As a biproduct, one gets new facts about the homotopy groups of , and about the number of connected components of the space of topological and combinatorial pseudoisotopies.The results are contained in Section 1 and Section...
