We describe an averaging procedure on a Dirac manifold, with respect to a class of compatible actions of a compact Lie group. Some averaging theorems on the existence of invariant realizations of Poisson structures around (singular)…

In this paper we present a construction for the compact form of the exceptional Lie group E6 by exponentiating the corresponding Lie algebra e6, which we realize as the the sum of f4, the derivations of the exceptional Jordan algebra J3 of…

Let M be a six dimensional manifold, endowed with a cohomogeneity one action of G= SU_2 x SU_2, and M_reg its subset of regular points. We show that M_reg admits a smooth, 2-parameter family of G-invariant, non-isometric strict nearly…

Attempts to extend our previous work using the octonions to describe fundamental particles lead naturally to the consideration of a particular real, noncompact form of the exceptional Lie group E6, and of its subgroups. We are therefore led…

The classification of finite group-actions on closed surfaces of small genus is well-known. In the present paper we are interested in the question of which of these group-actions are bounding (extend to a compact 3-manifold with the surface…

Jang has proven a remarkable classification of $6$-dimensional manifolds having an almost complex circle action with $4$ fixed points. Jang classifies the weights and associated multigraph into six cases, leaving the existence of connected…

In this paper, we classify the fixed point data (weights and signs at the fixed points), of a circle action on a 6-dimensional compact oriented manifold with 4 fixed points. We prove that it agrees with that of a disjoint union of rotations…

A free action of the direct product of two copies of the symmetric group on 3 elements on the cartesian product of two copies of the 3-sphere is constructed. This nonlinear action is constructed using surgery. The action provides a…

Let G be a cyclic group of order 3, 5 or 7, and X=E(n) be the relatively minimal elliptic surface with rational base. In this paper, we prove that under certain conditions on n, there exists a locally linear G-action on X which is…

Let S be a connected orientable surface with finitely many punctures, finitely many boundary components, and genus at least 6. Then any C^1 action of the mapping class group of S on the circle is trivial. The techniques used in the proof of…

Let $X$ be a K3 or Enriques surface with good reduction. Let $G$ be a finite group acting (not necessarily linearly) on $X$. We give a criterion for this group action to extend to a smooth model of $X$ in terms of the action of $G$ on the…

It was shown by Samelson and Wang that each compact Lie group K of even dimension admits left-invariant complex structures. When K has odd dimension it admits a left-invariant CR-structure of maximal dimension. This has been proved recently…

We show that if X is any proper complex variety, there is a weight decomposition on the real schematic homotopy type, in the form of an algebraic G_m-action. This extends to a real Hodge structure, in the form of a discrete C^*-action, such…

A survey of finite group actions on symplectic 4-manifolds is given with a special emphasis on results and questions concerning smooth or symplectic classification of group actions, group actions and exotic smooth structures, and…

We investigate conformal actions of cocompact lattices in higher-rank simple Lie groups on compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Our main result gives a general bound on the real-rank of the lattice, which was already known for the action of…

We study the existence of closed geodesics on compact Riemannian orbifolds, and on noncompact Riemannian manifolds in the presence of a cocompact, isometric group action. We show that every noncontractible Riemannian manifold which admits…

We compute all complex structures on indecomposable 6-dimensional real Lie algebras and their equivalence classes. We also give for each of them a global holomorphic chart on the connected simply connected Lie group associated to the real…

In this paper, we study $Z_2$ actions on a cell complex X having the cohomology ring isomorphic to that of the wedge sum $P^2 (n) V S^{3n}$ or $S^n V S^{2n} V S^{3n}$. We determine the possible fixed point sets depending on whether or not X…

This note is a continuation of the paper [2] (see references). We describe some natural pseudogroup structures on almost complex manifolds of type $m$. A kind of coherency is discussed for the sheaf of almost holomorphic functions.

In this work we study the existence of invariant almost complex structures on real flag manifolds associated to split real forms of complex simple Lie algebras. We show that, contrary to the complex case where the invariant almost complex…
