The Fundamental Group of S1-manifolds

چکیده
We address the problem of computing the fundamental group of a symplectic S-manifold for non-Hamiltonian actions on compact manifolds, and for Hamiltonian actions on non-compact manifolds with a proper moment map. We generalize known results for compact manifolds equipped with a Hamiltonian S-action. Several examples are presented to illustrate our main results.

متن کاملMinimal Crystallizations of 3-Manifolds
We have introduced the weight of a group which has a presentation with number of relations is at most the number of generators. We have shown that the number of facets of any contracted pseudotriangulation of a connected closed 3-manifold M is at least the weight of the fundamental group of M . This lower bound is sharp for the 3-manifolds RP, L(3, 1), L(5, 2), S1 × S1 × S1, S2 × S1, S×− S1 and...
متن کاملNon-smoothable Four-manifolds with Infinite Cyclic Fundamental Group
In [11], two of us constructed a closed oriented 4-dimensional manifold with fundamental group Z that does not split off S1 × S3. In this note we show that this 4-manifold, and various others derived from it, do not admit smooth structures. Moreover, we find an infinite family of 4-manifolds with exactly the same properties. As a corollary, we obtain topologically slice knots that are not smoot...
متن کاملFour-manifolds with Shadow-complexity Zero
We prove that a closed 4-manifold has shadow-complexity zero if and only if it is a kind of 4-dimensional graph manifold, which decomposes into some particular blocks along embedded copies of S2 × S1, plus some complex projective spaces. We deduce a classification of all 4-manifolds with finite fundamental group and shadow-complexity zero.
متن کاملResearch Summary
My research area is the topology and geometry of 3-manifolds. I was attracted to it because of the richness it acquired fromW. Thurston’s revolutionary work starting in the 1970s. Thurston’s key insight was that many 3-manifolds admit homogeneous Riemannian metrics, and that one can study the topology of a 3-manifold via this geometry. This profusion of geometry has now been stunningly confirme...
