Homologically 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 کاملConstructing Homologically Trivial Actions on Products of Spheres
We prove that if a finite group G has a representation with fixity f , then it acts freely and homologically trivially on a finite CW-complex homotopy equivalent to a product of f + 1 spheres. This shows, in particular, that every finite group acts freely and homologically trivially on some finite CW-complex homotopy equivalent to a product of spheres.
متن کاملON THE DIOPHANTINE EQUATION xn − 1 x −
We prove that if (x, y, n, q) 6= (18, 7, 3, 3) is a solution of the Diophantine equation (xn−1)/(x−1) = y with q prime, then there exists a prime number p such that p divides x and q divides p − 1. This allows us to solve completely this Diophantine equation for infinitely many values of x. The proofs require several different methods in diophantine approximation together with some heavy comput...
متن کاملOn the Diophantine equation |axn - byn | = 1
If a, b and n are positive integers with b ≥ a and n ≥ 3, then the equation of the title possesses at most one solution in positive integers x and y, with the possible exceptions of (a, b, n) satisfying b = a + 1, 2 ≤ a ≤ min{0.3n, 83} and 17 ≤ n ≤ 347. The proof of this result relies on a variety of diophantine approximation techniques including those of rational approximation to hypergeometri...
متن کاملHomologically Trivial Actions on Cyclic Coverings of Knots
A classical theorem of Hurewitz says that the isometry group of a closed 2-dimensional hyperbolic manifold acts faithfully on its first homology group. The analogous theorem in dimension 3 is false. In this paper we consider the class of 3-manifolds which are cyclic branched coverings of knots in the 3-sphere S. We characterize the isometry group actions which are homologically faithful in the ...
