We describe the partial ordering of these actions by relating them to certain sets of ordered pairs of integers. There are seven possible orbifold quotient types, and for any fixed quotient type we show that the partially ordered set is isomorphic to a union of distributive lattices of a certain type. We give necessary and sufficent conditions, for these partially ordered sets to be isomorphic and to be a union of Boolean algebras.展开更多

Let f : M→ M be a self-map of a closed manifold M of dimension dim M ≥ 3.

In ...Let f : M→ M be a self-map of a closed manifold M of dimension dim M ≥ 3. The Nielsen number N(f) of f is equal to the minimal number of fixed points of f' among all self-maps f' in the homotopy class of f. In this paper, we determine N(f) for all self-maps f when M is a closed 3-manifold with S^2× R geometry. The calculation of N(f) relies on the induced homomorphisms of f on the fundamental group and on the second homotopy group of M.展开更多

The positive answer is proved for Seifert manifolds, which is used in constructing the first known example of minimal Haken manifold. Another motivation is to study epimorphisms of 3-manifold groups via maps of non-zero degree between 3- manifolds. Many examples are given.展开更多

文摘Let f : M→ M be a self-map of a closed manifold M of dimension dim M ≥ 3. The Nielsen number N(f) of f is equal to the minimal number of fixed points of f' among all self-maps f' in the homotopy class of f. In this paper, we determine N(f) for all self-maps f when M is a closed 3-manifold with S^2× R geometry. The calculation of N(f) relies on the induced homomorphisms of f on the fundamental group and on the second homotopy group of M.
