Rigidity of pseudo-free group actions on contractible manifolds
In this article, we announce joint work with Frank Connolly and Jim Davis [6]. This follows an earlier case study of pseudo-free involutions on the n-torus carried out in [5]. The author is grateful to the organizers of the RIMS conferences where these results were disseminated in Asia: Transformation Groups and Surgery Theory (Masayuki Yamasaki, August 2010), Transformation Groups and Combinat...
متن کاملPositive Ricci Curvature on Highly Connected Manifolds
For k ≥ 2, let M4k−1 be a closed (2k−2)-connected manifold. If k ≡ 1 mod 4 assume further that M is (2k−1)-parallelisable. Then there is a homotopy sphere Σ4k−1 such that M]Σ admits a Ricci positive metric. This follows from a new description of these manifolds as the boundaries of explicit plumbings.
متن کاملProlonged Analytic Connected Group Actions are Generically Free
We prove that an effective, analytic action of a connected Lie group G on a manifold M becomes free on a comeager subset of an open subset when prolonged to both frame bundles and jet bundles over M of sufficiently high order.
متن کاملThe Classification of (n− 1)-connected 2n-manifolds
This is the question Milnor was actually working as a long-term project during the 1950’s when he “accidentally” discovered exotic spheres, as he explains in [Mil]. This was before the breakthrough of Smale and the Poincaré Conjecture still seemed completely out of reach. Somehow this was the “next easiest” problem in manifold topology and possibly ammenable to the extraordinary tools already d...
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...
