Unboundedness of some higher Euler classes

Geometric Topology 2020-06-03 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we study Euler classes in groups of homeomorphisms of Seifert fibered 3-manifolds. We show that, in contrast to the familiar Euler class for Homeo0(S1)δ\mathrm{Homeo}_0(S^1)^\delta, these Euler classes for Homeo0(M3)δ\mathrm{Homeo}_0(M^3)^\delta are unbounded classes. In fact, we give examples of flat topological M bundles over a genus 3 surface whose Euler class takes arbitrary values.
