The Fundamental Group of a Compact Flat Lorentz Space Form Is Virtually Polycyclic
A flat Lorentz space form is a geodesically complete Lorentzian manifold of zero curvature. It is well known (see Auslander & Markus [3]) that such a space M may be represented as a quotient R/Γ, where R" is an ^-dimensional Minkowski space (n equals the dimension of M) and Γ is a group of Lorentz isometries acting properly discontinuously and freely on R. In particular the universal covering o...
متن کاملTranslation Surfaces of the Third Fundamental Form in Lorentz-Minkowski Space
In this paper we study translation surfaces with the non-degenerate third fundamental form in Lorentz- Minkowski space $mathbb{L}^{3}$. As a result, we classify translation surfaces satisfying an equation in terms of the position vector field and the Laplace operator with respect to the third fundamental form $III$ on the surface.
متن کاملTHE FUNDAMENTAL GROUP OF A p-COMPACT GROUP
The notion of p-compact group [10] is a homotopy theoretic version of the geometric or analytic notion of compact Lie group, although the homotopy theory differs from the geometry is that there are parallel theories of p-compact groups, one for each prime number p. A key feature of the theory of compact Lie groups is the relationship between centers and fundamental groups; these play off agains...
متن کاملPdmi Preprint | 05/2002 on the Fundamental Group of a Compact Space without Conjugate Points
In 1986, C. Croke and V. Schroeder proved that the fundamental group ? of a compact analytic Riemannian manifold without conjugate points possesses the following property: every abelian subgroup ? 0 of ? is straight, that is, word metrics of ? and ? 0 are Lipschitz equivalent on ? 0. In this paper we prove that the same property holds for the fundamental group of any compact length space withou...
