Deformation Spaces for Affine Crystallographic Groups

چکیده

We develop the foundations of the deformation theory of compact complete affine space forms and affine crystallographic groups. Using methods from the theory of linear algebraic groups we show that these deformation spaces inherit an algebraic structure from the space of crystallographic homomorphisms. We also study the properties of the action of the homotopy mapping class groups on deformation spaces. In our context these groups are arithmetic groups, and we construct examples of flat affine manifolds where every finite group of mapping classes admits a fixed point on the deformation space. We also show that the existence of fixed points on the deformation space is equivalent to the realisation of finite groups of homotopy equivalences by finite groups of affine diffeomorphisms. Extending ideas of Auslander we relate the deformation spaces of affine space forms with solvable fundamental group to deformation spaces of manifolds with nilpotent fundamental group. We give applications concerning the classification problem for affine space forms. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 57S30 22E40; Secondary 22E40 22E45 20H15 58D29

Non-Crystallographic Symmetry in Packing Spaces

In the following, isomorphism of an arbitrary finite group of symmetry, non-crystallographic symmetry (quaternion groups, Pauli matrices groups, and other abstract subgroups), in addition to the permutation group, are considered. Application of finite groups of permutations to the packing space determines space tilings by policubes (polyominoes) and forms a structure. Such an approach establish...

Frameworks with crystallographic symmetry.

Periodic frameworks with crystallographic symmetry are investigated from the perspective of a general deformation theory of periodic bar-and-joint structures in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension. It is shown that natural parametrizations provide affine section descriptions for families of frameworks with a specified graph and symmetry. A simple geometrical setting for displacive phase tra...

The Newton stratification on deformations of local G-shtuka

Bounded local G-shtuka are function field analogs for p-divisible groups with extra structure. We describe their deformations and moduli spaces. The latter are analogous to Rapoport-Zink spaces for p-divisible groups. The underlying schemes of these moduli spaces are affine DeligneLusztig varieties. For basic Newton polygons the closed Newton stratum in the universal deformation of a local G-sh...

State spaces of $K_0$ groups of some rings

‎Let $R$ be a ring‎ ‎with the Jacobson radical $J(R)$ and let $picolon Rto R/J(R)$ be‎ the canonical map‎. ‎Then $pi$ induces an order preserving group homomorphism‎ ‎$K_0picolon K_0(R)to K_0(R/J(R))$ and an‎ ‎affine continuous map $S(K_0pi)$ between the state space $St(R/J(R))$ and the‎ ‎state space $St(R).$‎ ‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider the natural affine map $S(K_0pi).$ We give a condition ...
