Abstract

Let SL(n,Z) be the special linear group over integers and M=S1r×S2r,T1r×S2rM =S^r_1 \times S^r_2,T^r_1 \times S^r_2 , or T0r×S1r×S2rT^r_0 \times S^r_1 \times S^r_2, products of spheres and tori. We prove that any group action of SL(n,Z) on MrM^r by diffeomorphims or piecewise linear homeomorphisms is trivial if r<n1r<n-1. This confirms a conjecture on Zimmer's program for these manifolds.
