Tameness of Margulis space-times with parabolics
Abstract
Let be a flat Lorentzian space of signature . A Margulis space-time is a noncompact complete flat Lorentzian -manifold with a free holonomy group of rank . We consider the case when contains a parabolic element. We obtain a characterization of proper -actions in terms of Margulis and Drumm-Charette invariants. We show that is homeomorphic to the interior of a compact handlebody of genus generalizing our earlier result. Also, we obtain a bordification of the Margulis space-time with parabolics by adding a real projective surface at infinity giving us a compactification as a manifold relative to parabolic end neighborhoods. Our method is to estimate the translational parts of the affine transformation group and use some -manifold topology.
