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 کاملRigidity of Fibrations over Nonpositively Curved Manifolds?
THE THEORY of manifold approximate fibrations is the correct bundle theory for topological manifolds and singular spaces. This theory plays the same role in the topological category as fiber bundle theory plays in the differentiable category and as block bundle theory plays in the piecewise linear category. For example, neighborhoods in topologically stratified spaces can be characterized and c...
متن کاملControlled Homeomorphisms Over Nonpositively Curved Manifolds
We obtain a homotopy splitting of the forget control map for controlled homeomorphisms over closed manifolds of nonpositive curvature.
متن کاملVirtual Cubulation of Nonpositively Curved Graph Manifolds
In this paper, we show that an aspherical compact graph manifold is nonpositively curved if and only if its fundamental group virtually embeds into a right-angled Artin group. As a consequence, nonpositively curved graph manifolds have linear fundamental groups.
