Equivariant homotopy and deformations of diffeomorphisms

C. E. Durán, A. Rigas

We present a way of constructing and deforming diffeomorphisms of manifolds endowed with a Lie group action. This is applied to the study of exotic diffeomorphisms and involutions…

Wiedersehen metrics and exotic involutions of Euclidean spheres

Uwe Abresch, Carlos Duran, Thomas Puettmann +1

We provide explicit, simple, geometric formulas for free involutions rho of Euclidean spheres that are not conjugate to the antipodal involution. Therefore the quotient S^n/rho is…

Presentations of the first homotopy groups of the unitary groups

Thomas Puettmann, A. Rigas

We describe explicit presentations of all stable and the first nonstable homotopy groups of the unitary groups. In particular, for each n >= 2 we supply n homotopic maps that each…
