Arithmetic Groups Acting on Compact Manifolds
In this note we announce results concerning the volume preserving actions of arithmetic subgroups of higher rank semisimple groups on compact manifolds. Our results can be considered as the first rigidity results for homomorphisms of these groups into diffeomorphism groups and show a sharp contrast between the behavior of actions of these groups and actions of free groups. Let G be a connected ...
متن کاملProduct Groups Acting on Manifolds
We analyse volume-preserving actions of product groups on Riemannian manifolds. To this end, we establish a new superrigidity theorem for ergodic cocycles of product groups ranging in linear groups. There are no a priori assumptions on the acting groups, except a spectral gap assumption on their action. Our main application to manifolds concerns irreducible actions of Kazhdan product groups. We...
متن کاملGroups Not Acting on Manifolds
In this article we collect a series of observations that constrain actions of many groups on compact manifolds. In particular, we show that “generic” finitely generated groups have no smooth volume preserving actions on compact manifolds.
متن کاملOn finite groups acting on acyclic low-dimensional manifolds
We prove that a finite group which admits a faithful, smooth, orientationpreserving action on an acyclic 3or 4-manifold is isomorphic to a subgroup of the orthogonal group SO(3) or SO(4), respectively. Also, the only finite nonabelian simple groups admitting a faithful, smooth action on an acyclic 5-manifold are the alternating groups A5 and A6, and from this we deduce a list of finite groups, ...
متن کاملOn Affine Maps and an Arithmetic Limit on Compact Groups
ABSTRACT. Let G be a compact connected metric abelian group equipped with its normalised Haar measure. Let Tx = a+A(x) be a continuous surjective affine map of G such that γ ≡ 1 is the only character of G satisfying γ ◦A = γ for some positive integer n. Then if φ is a polynomial with real coefficients mapping the natural numbers to themselves, (pl) ∞ l=1 is the sequence of rational primes and f...
