The Auslander Conjecture for Nil-affine Crystallographic Groups
We study subgroups Γ in Aff(N) = N ⋊ Aut(N) acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on N . Here N is a simply connected, connected real nilpotent Lie group of finite dimension n. This situation is a natural generalization of the so-called affine crystallographic groups. We prove that for all dimensions 1 ≤ n ≤ 5 the generalized Auslander conjecture holds, i.e., that such subgroups are v...
متن کاملBraid Group Action and Quantum Affine Algebras
We lift the lattice of translations in the extended affine Weyl group to a braid group action on the quantum affine algebra. This action fixes the Heisenberg subalgebra pointwise. Loop like generators are found for the algebra which satisfy the relations of Drinfel ′ d's new realization. Coproduct formulas are given and a PBW type basis is constructed. §0. Introduction. The purpose of this pape...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Group of a Compact Flat Lorentz Space Form Is Virtually Polycyclic
A flat Lorentz space form is a geodesically complete Lorentzian manifold of zero curvature. It is well known (see Auslander & Markus [3]) that such a space M may be represented as a quotient R/Γ, where R" is an ^-dimensional Minkowski space (n equals the dimension of M) and Γ is a group of Lorentz isometries acting properly discontinuously and freely on R. In particular the universal covering o...
متن کاملCommutative Nil Clean Group Rings
In [5] and [6], a nil clean ring was defined as a ring for which every element is the sum of a nilpotent and an idempotent. In this short article we characterize nil clean commutative group rings.
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Affine Crystallographic Groupd
Those groups r which act properly discontinuously and aillnely on II?’ with compact fundamental domain are classified. First it is shown that such a group f contains a solvable subgroup of finite index, thus establishing a conjecture of Auslander in dimension three. Then unimodular simply transitive alTine actions on IR’ are classified; this leads to a classification of atTine crystallographic ...
