Lifts of Diffeomorphisms of Orbit Spaces for Representations of Compact Lie Groups

A structure of the group of diffeomorphisms for the orbit space of an orthogonal representation G> O(V) of a compact Lie group G is studied. For a finite G, it is proved that each diffeomorphism of the orbit space V/G has a smooth lift to V and the component group of the group of Diff(V/G is described, especially in the case when G is a finite Coxeter group. Similar results are obtained for the isotropy representations of some symmetric spaces.     

EQUIVARIANT SELF EQUIVALENCES OF PRINCIPAL FIBRE BUNDLES

Let E be a compact Lie group, G a closed subgroup of E, and H a closed normal sub-group of G. For principal fibre bundle (E,p, E,/G;G) tmd (E/H,p‘,E/G;G/H), the relation between auta(E) (resp. autce (E)) and autG/H(E/H) (resp. autGe/H(E/H)) is investigated by using bundle map theory and transformation group theory. It will enable us to compute the group JG(E) (resp. SG(E)) while the group J G/u(E/H) is known.

Spaces of Maps into Classifying Spaces for Equivariant Crossed Complexes, II: The General Topological Group Case

The results of a previous paper on the equivariant homotopy theory of crossed complexes are generalised from the case of a discrete group to general topological groups. The principal new ingredient necessary for this is an analysis of homotopy coherence theory for crossed complexes, using detailed results on the appropriate Eilenberg–Zilber theory, and of its relation to simplicial homotopy coherence. Again, our results give information not just on the homotopy classification of certain equivariant maps, but also on the weak equivariant homotopy type of the corresponding equivariant function spaces.

Tubular Structures of Compact Symmetric Spaces Associated with the Exceptional Lie Group F<Subscript>4</Subscript>

In the present paper we discuss in detail cohomogeneity one isometric actions on the compact symmetric spaces F₄ and . By means of isometric actions we show that these symmetric spaces have got well-defined tubular structures around the totally geodesic submanifolds Spin(9) and , respectively. Therefore these symmetric spaces can be thought of as compact tubes. The radii of the tubes and the principal curvatures of the tubular hypersurfaces are determined in explicit form. Moreover, we apply these results to compute the volumes of the principal orbits and the volumes of the symmetric spaces associated with the compact Lie group F₄.

Constructive Axiomatic Approach to the Determination of the Orbit Spaces of Coregular Compact Linear Groups

We review the proposal of a constructive axiomatic approach to the determination of the orbit spaces of all the real compact linear groups, obtained through the computation of a metric matrix , which is defined only in terms of the scalar products between the gradients p₁(x),...,p_q(x) of the elements of a minimal integrity basis (MIB) for the ring [ⁿ]^G of G-invariant polynomials. The domain of semi-positivity of is known to realize the orbit space ⁿ/G of G as a semi-algebraic variety in the space ^q spanned by the variables p₁,...,p_q. The matrices can be obtained from the solutions of a universal differential equation (master equation), which satisfy convenient initial conditions. The master equation and the initial conditions involve as free parameters only the degrees d_a of the p_a(x)s. This approach tries to bypass the actual impossibility of explicitly determining a set of basic polynomial invariants for each group. Our results may be relevant in physical contexts where the study of covariant or invariant functions is important, like in the determination of patterns of spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum field theory, in the analysis of phase spaces and structural phase transitions (Landaus theory), in covariant bifurcation theory, in crystal field theory and so on.

Actions symplectiques de groupes compacts (Symplectic Actions of Compact Groups)

For any symplectic action of a compact connected group on a compact connected symplectic manifold, we show that the intersection of the Weyl chamber with the image of the moment map is a closed convex polyhedron. This extends Atiyah–Guillemin–Sternberg–Kirwan's convexity theorems to non-Hamiltonian actions. As a consequence, we describe those symplectic actions of a torus which are coisotropic (or multiplicity free), i.e. which have at least one coisotropic orbit: they are the product of an Hamiltonian coisotropic action by an anhamiltonian one. The Hamiltonian coisotropic actions have already been described by Delzant thanks to the convex polyhedron. The anhamiltonian coisotropic actions are actions of a central torus on a symplectic nilmanifold. This text is written as an introduction to the theory of symplectic actions of compact groups since complete proofs of the preliminary classical results are given. An erratum to this article is available at .     

Actions of Borel Subgroups on Homogeneous Spaces of Reductive Complex Lie Groups and Integrability

Let G be a real reductive Lie group, K its compact subgroup. Let A be the algebra of G-invariant real-analytic functions on T ^*(G/K) (with respect to the Poisson bracket) and let C be the center of A. Denote by 2(G,K) the maximal number of functionally independent functions from A\C. We prove that (G,K) is equal to the codimension (G,K) of maximal dimension orbits of the Borel subgroup BG ^C in the complex algebraic variety G ^C/K ^C. Moreover, if (G,K)=1, then all G-invariant Hamiltonian systems on T ^*(G/K) are integrable in the class of the integrals generated by the symmetry group G. We also discuss related questions in the geometry of the Borel group action.     

Actions of Compact Groups on Compact (4,m)-Quadrangles

We establish sharp upper bounds for the dimensions of compact groups which act effectively on finite-dimensional compact generalized quadrangles with four-dimensional point rows. These bounds are attained, or indeed approached, only for explicitly known actions of Lie groups on Moufang quadrangles.     

On the Least Number of Fixed Points of an Equivariant Map

The problem on the least number of fixed points of an equivariant map of a compact polyhedron on which a finite group acts is considered. For such a map, the least number of fixed points and the least number of fixed orbits are estimated in terms of invariants of the type of Nielsen numbers. The estimates obtained are sharp. The results are similar to those of P. Wong, but their assumptions are essentially weaker. Some notations are refined. The proofs are constructive.     

Equivariant Reduction to Torus of a Principal Bundle

Let M be an irreducible projective variety, over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero, equipped with an action of a connected algebraic group S over k. Let E _G be a principal G-bundle over M equipped with a lift of the action of S on M, where G is a connected reductive linear algebraic group. Assume that E _G admits a reduction of structure group to a maximal torus TG. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a T-reduction of E _G which is left invariant by the action of S on E _G .

Ergodic Actions of Semisimple Lie Groups on Compact Principal Bundles

Let G = SL(n, ?) (or, more generally, let G be a connected, noncompact, simple Lie group). For any compact Lie group K, it is easy to find a compact manifold M, such that there is a volume-preserving, connection-preserving, ergodic action of G on some smooth, principal K-bundle P over M. Can M can be chosen independent of K? We show that if M = H/Λ is a homogeneous space, and the action of G on M is by translations, then P must also be a homogeneous space H′Λ′. Consequently, there is a strong restriction on the groups K that can arise over this particular M.     

On based-free actions of compact lie groups on the hilbert cube

It is proved that a based-free action α of a given compact Lie groupG on the Hilbert cubeQ is equivalent to the standard based-free action σ if and only if the orbit spaceQ ₀/α of the free partQ ₀=Q* is aQ-manifold having the proper homotopy type of the orbit spaceQ ₀/σ. The existence of an equivariant retraction (Q ₀, σ)→(Q ₀, α) is established. It is proved that for any TikhonovG-spaceX the family of all equivariant mapsX→ conG separates the points and the closed sets inX.

The closing lemma for nonsingular endomorphisms equivariant under free actions of finite groups

In this paper a closing lemma for nonsingular endomorphisms equivariant under free actions of finite-groups is proved. Hence a recurrent trajectory, as well as all of its symmetric conjugates, of a nonsingular endomorphism equivariant under a free action of a finite group can be closed up simultaneously by an arbitrarily small equivariant perturbation.
