There are four groups $G$ fitting into a short exact sequence $ 1\rightarrow SL(2,5)\rightarrow G\rightarrow C_2\rightarrow 1, $ where $SL(2,5)$ is the special linear group of $(2\times 2)$-matrices with entries in the field of five…

Let $N>1$ be an integer, and let $\Gamma = \Gamma_0 (N) \subset \SL_4 (\Z)$ be the subgroup of matrices with bottom row congruent to $(0,0,0,*)\mod N$. We compute $H^5 (\Gamma; \C) $ for a range of $N$, and compute the action of some Hecke…

We know that $\mathbb{Z}_n$ is a finite field for a prime number $n$. Let $m,n$ be arbitrary natural numbers and let $\mathbb{Z}^m_n= \mathbb{Z}_n \times\mathbb{Z}_n\times...\times\mathbb{Z}_n$ be the Cartesian product of $m$ rings…

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…

We survey some results concerning finite group actions on products of spheres.

We show that the action of the group $\Gamma=\langle a,b,c\mid a^2=b^3=c^7=abc\rangle$ on its space of left-orders has exactly two minimal components.

In this paper we study Zimmer's conjecture for $C^1$ actions of lattice subgroup of a higher-rank simple Lie group with finite center on compact manifolds. We show that when the rank of an uniform lattice is larger than the dimension of the…

In this paper, we study the action of $\text{Homeo}_0(M)$, the identity component of the group of homeomorphisms of an $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ with an $\mathbb{F}_p$-free action, on another manifold $N$ of dimension $n+k<2n$. We prove…

In this article, we explore the second integral homology, or Schur multiplier, of the special linear group ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[1/n])$ for a positive integer $n$. We definitively calculate the group structure of $H_2({\rm…

R. S. Kulkarni showed that a finite group acting pseudofreely, but not freely, preserving orientation, on an even-dimensional sphere (or suitable sphere-like space) is either a periodic group acting semifreely with two fixed points, a…

This is a survey on old and new results as well as an introduction to various related basic notions and concepts, based on two talks given at the International Workshop on Geometry and Analysis in Kemerovo (Sobolev Institute of Mathematics,…

Let G be a finite group acting freely on a finitistic space X having cohomology type (0, b) (for example, S^n x S^{2n} is a space of type (0, 1) and the one-point union S^n V S^{2n} V S^{3n} is a space of type (0, 0)). It is known that a…

The main theorem is that if K is a finite CW complex with finite fundamental group G and universal cover homotopy equivalent to a product of spheres X, then G acts smoothly and freely on X x S^n for any n greater than or equal to the…

In this second part we prove that, if $G$ is one of the groups $\mathrm{PSL}_2(q)$ with $q>5$ and $q\equiv 5\pmod {24}$ or $q\equiv 13 \pmod{24}$, then the fundamental group of every acyclic $2$-dimensional, fixed point free and finite…

Let G be a rank two finite group, and let $\cH$ denote the family of rank one p-subgroups of G, at all primes where G has p-rank two. We show that a rank two finite group G which satisfies certain group-theoretic conditions admits a finite…

Let G be a subgroup of finite index in SL(n,Z) for N > 4. Suppose G acts continuously on a manifold M, with fundamental group Z^n, preserving a measure that is positive on open sets. Further assume that the induced G action on H^1(M) is…

We extend the computations in [AGM4] to find the mod 2 homology in degree 1 of a congruence subgroup Gamma of SL(4,Z) with coefficients in the sharbly complex, along with the action of the Hecke algebra. This homology group is closely…

This paper contains some more results on the topology of a nondegenerate action of $\mathbb{R}^n$ on a compact connected $n$-manifold $M$ when the action is totally hyperbolic (i.e. its toric degree is zero). We study the…

It is proved that for a product action of $(\mathbb Z_p)^k$ on a product of (mod p) homology spheres $N^{n_1}\times...\times N^{n_k}$, where all $n_i$'s are assumed to be odd if $p$ is odd, and any continuous map $f\colon…

We develop algorithms and computer programs which verify criteria of properness of discrete group actions on semisimple homogeneous spaces. We apply these algorithms to find new examples of non-virtually abelian discontinuous group actions…
