This chapter describes the topology of a group action. It proves some topological facts about the fixed point set and the stabilizers of a continuous or a smooth action. The chapter also introduces the equivariant tubular neighborhood theorem and the equivariant Mayer–Vietoris sequence. A tubular neighborhood of a submanifold S in a manifold M is a neighborhood that has the structure of a vector bundle over S. Because the total space of a vector bundle has the same homotopy type as the base space, in calculating cohomology one may replace a submanifold by a tubular neighborhood. The tubular neighborhood theorem guarantees the existence of a tubular neighborhood for a compact regular submanifold. The Mayer–Vietoris sequence is a powerful tool for calculating the cohomology of a union of two open subsets. Both the tubular neighborhood theorem and the Mayer–Vietoris sequence have equivariant counterparts for a G-manifold where G is a compact Lie group.

Abstract The basic cohomology of a complete Riemannian foliation with all leaves closed is the cohomology of the leaf space. In this paper we introduce various methods to compute the basic cohomology in the presence of both closed and non-closed leaves in the simply-connected case (or more generally for Killing foliations): We show that the total basic Betti number of the union C of the closed leaves is smaller than or equal to the total basic Betti number of the foliated manifold, and we give sufficient conditions for equality. If there is a basic Morse–Bott function with critical set equal to C, we can compute the basic cohomology explicitly. Another case in which the basic cohomology can be determined is if the space of leaf closures is a simple, convex polytope. Our results are based on Molino’s observation that the existence of non-closed leaves yields a distinguished transverse action on the foliated manifold with fixed point set C. We introduce equivariant basic cohomology of transverse actions in analogy to equivariant cohomology of Lie group actions enabling us to transfer many results from the theory of Lie group actions to Riemannian foliations. The prominent role of the fixed point set in the theory of torus actions explains the relevance of the set C in the basic setting.

Let X be a compact, connected, oriented topological G-manifold, where G is a compact connected Lie group. Assume that the fixed point set is finite but nonempty, the action is otherwise free, and the orbit space is a manifold. It follows that either G = U(1) = S1 and dimX =4 or G = Sp(1) = S3 and dimX = 8, and the number of fixed points is even. The authors prove that these ∪(1)-manifolds (respectively, Sp(1)-manifolds) are classified up to orientation-preserving equivariant homeomorphism by (1) the orientation-preserving homeomorphism type of their orbit 3-manifolds (respectively, 5-manifolds), and(2) the (even) number of fixed points.Both the homeomorphism type in (1) and the even number in (2) are arbitrary, and all the examples are constructed. The smooth analog for U(1) is also proved.

We consider a triple hierarchical variational inequality problem (THVIP), that is, a variational inequality problem defined over the set of solutions of another variational inequality problem which is defined over the intersection of the fixed point set of a strict pseudocontractive mapping and the solution set of the classical variational inequality problem. Moreover, we propose a multistep hybrid extragradient method to compute the approximate solutions of the THVIP and present the convergence analysis of the sequence generated by the proposed method. We also derive a solution method for solving a system of hierarchical variational inequalities (SHVI), that is, a system of variational inequalities defined over the intersection of the fixed point set of a strict pseudocontractive mapping and the solution set of the classical variational inequality problem. Under very mild conditions, it is proven that the sequence generated by the proposed method converges strongly to a unique solution of the SHVI.

AbstractLet X bea Stein manifold with an anti-holomorphic involution τ and nonempty compact fixed point set Xτ. We show that X is diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of Xτ provided that X admits a complete Riemannian metric g of nonnegative sectional curvature such that τ*g = g.

<p>In this article, we introduce the concept of a soft quasi-pseudometric space. We show that every soft quasi-pseudometric induces a compatible quasi-pseudometric on the collection of all soft points of the absolute soft set whenever the parameter set is finite. We then introduce the concept of soft Isbell convexity and show that a self non-expansive map of a soft quasi-metric space has a nonempty soft Isbell convex fixed point set.</p>
