Finite Group Actions on Kervaire Manifolds
Let M K be the Kervaire manifold: a closed, piecewise linear (PL) manifold with Kervaire invariant 1 and the same homology as the product S × S of spheres. We show that a finite group of odd order acts freely on M K if and only if it acts freely on S × S. If MK is smoothable, then each smooth structure on MK admits a free smooth involution. If k 6= 2 − 1, then M K does not admit any free TOP in...
متن کاملHomologically Trivial Group Actions on 4-Manifolds
In this paper we investigate pseudofree homologically trivial actions of arbitrary finite groups on simply connected 4-manifolds. It turns out that there are surprisingly strong restrictions on the groups and on the actions, especially when one considers the fact that any finite group can act, even freely, on some simply connected 4-manifold. Recall that a finite group action is free if no nont...
متن کامل3-manifolds Which Admit Finite Group Actions
We prove several results which support the following conjectures: (1) Any smooth action of a finite group on a geometric 3-manifold can be conjugated to preserve the geometric structure. (2) Every irreducible closed 3-manifold M with infinite nx(M) is finitely covered by a Haken 3-manifold.
متن کاملOn Symmetric Group S3 Actions on Spin 4-manifolds
Let X be a smooth, closed, connected spin 4-manifold with b1(X) = 0 and non-positive signature σ(X). In this paper we use Seiberg-Witten theory to prove that if X admits an odd type symmetric group S3 action preserving the spin structure, then b+2 (X) ≥ |σ(X)|/8 + 3 under some non-degeneracy conditions. We also obtain some information about IndS̃3 D, where S̃3 is the extension of S3 by Z2.
متن کاملA Survey of Group Actions on 4-manifolds
Almost 50 years of work on group actions and the geometric topology of 4-manifolds, from the 1960’s to the present, from knotted fixed point sets to Seiberg-Witten invariants, is surveyed. Locally linear actions are emphasized, but differentiable and purely topological actions are also discussed. The presentation is organized around some of the fundamental general questions that have driven the...
