Topological tameness of Margulis spacetimes
Abstract
We show that Margulis spacetimes without parabolic holonomy are topologically tame. A Margulis spacetime is the quotient of the -dimensional Minkowski space by a free proper isometric action of the free group of rank . We will use our particular point of view that the Margulis spacetime is a manifold-with-boundary with an -structure in an essential way. The basic tools are a bordification by a closed -manifold with free holonomy group, and the work of Goldman, Labourie, and Margulis on geodesics in the Margulis spacetimes and -manifold topology.
