چکیده

We prove that if F is a finitely generated abelian group of orientation preserving C1 diffeomorphisms of R2 which leaves invariant a compact set then there is a common fixed point for all elements of F . We also show that if F is any abelian subgroup of orientation preserving C1 diffeomorphisms of S2 then there is a common fixed point for all elements of a subgroup of F with index

Semifree Symplectic Circle Actions on 4-orbifolds

A theorem of Tolman and Weitsman states that all symplectic semifree circle actions with isolated fixed points on compact symplectic manifolds must be Hamiltonian and have the same equivariant cohomology and Chern classes of (CP 1)n equipped with the standard diagonal circle action. In this paper, we show that the situation is much different when we consider compact symplectic orbifolds. Focusi...

Area preserving group actions on S 2

The main result of this paper is that every action of a finite index subgroup of SL(3, Z) on S2 by area preserving diffeomorphisms factors through a finite group. An important tool we use, which may be of independent interest is the result that if F : S2 → S2 is a non-trivial, area preserving, orientation preserving diffeomorphism and if Fix(F ) contains at least three points, then F has points...

Toral Actions on 4-manifolds and Their Classifications

P. Orlik and F. Raymond showed, in [OR, I], the following: Suppose that M is a ^-dimensional closed simply-connected manifold with an effective T1-action. Then M is an equivariant connected sum of CP2, CP2, S2x S2 and S4. In [OR, II], they studied some non-simply-connected manifolds with an effective T2-action and proved that, if the manifolds have neither fixed points nor circle subgroups as s...

Rigidity of Trivial Actions of Abelian-by-cyclic Groups

The question of existence and stability of global fixed points for group actions has been studied in many different contexts. In the setting of actions of Lie groups it was shown by Lima [8] that n commuting vector fields on a genus g surface, Σg, of non-zero Euler characteristic have a common singularity. This implies that any action of the abelian Lie group R on Σg has a global fixed point. I...
