On Nielsen realization and manifold models for classifying spaces
James F. Davis, Wolfgang Lueck
We consider the problem of whether, for a given virtually torsionfree discrete group , there exists a cocompact proper topological -manifold, which is equivariantly homotopy…
Chain duality for categories over complexes
James F. Davis, Carmen Rovi
We show that the additive category of chain complexes parametrized by a finite simplicial complex forms a category with chain duality. This fact, never fully proven in the orig…
Fibers of maps to totally nonnegative spaces
James F. Davis, Patricia Hersh, Ezra Miller
This paper undertakes a study of the structure of the fibers of the Chevalley exponentiation maps . The fibers of these maps encode the…
Hyperfield Grassmannians
James F. Davis, Laura Anderson
In a recent paper Baker and Bowler introduced matroids over hyperfields, offering a common generalization of matroids, oriented matroids, and linear subspaces of based vector space…
An almost flat manifold with a cyclic or quaternionic holonomy group bounds
James F. Davis, Fuquan Fang
A long-standing conjecture of Farrell and Zdravkovska and independently S.~T.~Yau states that every almost flat manifold is the boundary of a compact manifold. This paper gives a s…
Topological rigidity and actions on contractible manifolds with discrete singular set
Frank Connolly, James F. Davis, Qayum Khan
The problem of equivariant rigidity is the -homeomorphism classification of -actions on manifolds with compact quotient and with contractible fixed sets for all finite subgro…
