Structure and rigidity of manifold diffeomorphism groups (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Given a manifold M and a structure S, we denote by Homeo(M;S) the group of S-preserving homeomorphisms of M. We will be particularly concerned with the case tha S is the C^r structure in the sense of Hölder continuity. In such a case, the group is written as Diff^r(M). The goal of this lecture series is to survey recent results and open questions on the rigidity of the group structures involving these groups. When M is a compact one-manifold, namely an interval or a circle, each real number r≥1 admits a finitely generated subgroup G_r of Diff^r(M) such that G_r never embeds into Diff^s(M) for any s>r. This generalizes observations by earlier foliation theorists on the case r=0 or r=1. In the second talk, I will propose a rigidity phenomenon regarding higher dimensional manifolds. Namely, we consider the question exactly when two manifold diffeomorphism groups Diff^r(M) and Diff^s(N) have the same logical structure. Modern findings regarding this question gives a generalization of classical results of Whittaker (1963), and of Takens-Filipkiewicz (1982). This talk is based on joint work with Thomas Koberda (UVa) and Javier de la Nuez-Gonzalez (KIAS).
