The geodesic flow of a nonpositively curved graph manifold
We consider discrete cocompact isometric actions G ρ y X where X is a locally compact Hadamard space1, and G belongs to a class of groups (“admissible groups”) which includes fundamental groups of 3-dimensional graph manifolds. We identify invariants (“geometric data”) of the action ρ which determine, and are determined by, the equivariant homeomorphism type of the action G ∂∞ρ y ∂∞X of G on th...
متن کاملThe Structure of Closed Nonpositively Curved Euclidean Cone 3-manifolds
A structure theorem is proven for closed Euclidean 3-dimensional cone manifolds with all cone angles greater than 2π and cone locus a link (no vertices) which allows one to deduce precisely when such a manifold is homotopically atoroidal, and to construct its characteristic submanifold (torus decomposition) when it is not. A by-product of this structure theorem is the result that any Seifert-fi...
متن کاملSome Remarks on the Geodesic Completeness of Compact Nonpositively Curved Spaces
Let X be a geodesic space. We say that X is geodesically complete if every geodesic segment β : [0, a] → X from β(0) to β(a) can be extended to a geodesic ray α : [0,∞) → X, (i.e. β(t) = α(t), for 0 ≤ t ≤ a). If X is a compact npc space (“npc” means: “non-positively curved”) then it is almost geodesically complete, see [10]. (X, with metric d, is almost geodesically complete if its universal co...
متن کاملImmersing almost geodesic surfaces in a closed hyperbolic three manifold
Let M be a closed hyperbolic three manifold. We construct closed surfaces that map by immersions into M so that for each, one the corresponding mapping on the universal covering spaces is an embedding, or, in other words, the corresponding induced mapping on fundamental groups is an injection.
متن کاملOn actions of discrete groups on nonpositively curved spaces
This note contains several observations concerning discrete groups of non-parabolic isometries of spaces of nonpositive curvature. We prove that (almost all) surface mapping class groups do not admit such actions; in particular, they do not act cocompactly. A new obstruction to the existence of a nonpositively curved metric on closed manifolds is presented. We give examples of 4-manifolds bered...
