نویسنده
چکیده
The real homology of a compact Riemannian manifold M is naturally endowed with the stable norm. The stable norm on H1(M,R) arises from the Riemannian length functional by homogenization. It is difficult and interesting to decide which norms on the finitedimensional vector space H1(M,R) are stable norms of a Riemannian metric on M . If the dimension of M is at least three, I. Babenko and F. Balacheff proved in [1] that every polyhedral norm ball in H1(M,R), whose vertices are rational with respect to the lattice of integer classes in H1(M,R), is the stable norm ball of a Riemannian metric on M . This metric can even be chosen to be conformally equivalent to any given metric. In [1], the stable norm induced by the constructed metric is computed by comparing the metric with a polyhedral one. Here we present an alternative construction for the metric, which remains in the geometric framework of smooth Riemannian metrics.

A new lower bound on the complexity of a 3–manifold is given using the ZZ2 –Thurston norm. This bound is shown to be sharp, and the minimal triangulations realising it are characterised using normal surfaces consisting entirely of quadrilateral discs. AMS Classification 57M25, 57N10

We prove a version of Schur–Weyl duality over finite fields. We prove that for any field k, if k has at least r + 1 elements, then Schur– Weyl duality holds for the rth tensor power of a finite dimensional vector space V . Moreover, if the dimension of V is at least r + 1, the natural map kSr → EndGL(V )(V ) is an isomorphism. This isomorphism may fail if dimk V is not strictly larger than r.
