Abstract

We prove that for any closed Lorentz 44-manifold (M,g)(M,g) the isometry group Isom(M,g)Isom(M,g) is Jordan. Namely, there exists a constant CC (depending on MM and gg) such that any finite subgroup ΓIsom(M,g)\Gamma\leq Isom(M,g) has an abelian subgroup AΓA\leq\Gamma satisfying [Γ:A]C[\Gamma:A]\leq C.
