We give explicit examples of pairs of one-ended, open [Formula: see text]-manifolds whose end-sums yield uncountably many manifolds with distinct proper homotopy types. This answers strongly in the affirmative a conjecture of Siebenmann regarding nonuniqueness of end-sums. In addition to the construction of these examples, we provide a detailed discussion of the tools used to distinguish them; most importantly, the end-cohomology algebra. Key to our Main Theorem is an understanding of this algebra for an end-sum in terms of the algebras of summands together with ray-fundamental classes determined by the rays used to perform the end-sum. Differing ray-fundamental classes allow us to distinguish the various examples, but only through the subtle theory of infinitely generated abelian groups. An appendix is included which contains the necessary background from that area.

AbstractGiven a finite order ideal $${\mathcal {O}}$$ O in the polynomial ring $$K[x_1,\ldots , x_n]$$ K [ x 1 , … , x n ] over a field K, let $$\partial {\mathcal {O}}$$ ∂ O be the border of $${\mathcal {O}}$$ O and $${\mathcal {P}}_{\mathcal {O}}$$ P O the Pommaret basis of the ideal generated by the terms outside $${\mathcal {O}}$$ O . In the framework of reduction structures introduced by Ceria, Mora, Roggero in 2019, we investigate relations among $$\partial {\mathcal {O}}$$ ∂ O -marked sets (resp. bases) and $${\mathcal {P}}_{\mathcal {O}}$$ P O -marked sets (resp. bases). We prove that a $$\partial {\mathcal {O}}$$ ∂ O -marked set B is a marked basis if and only if the $${\mathcal {P}}_{\mathcal {O}}$$ P O -marked set P contained in B is a marked basis and generates the same ideal as B. Using a functorial description of these marked bases, as a byproduct we obtain that the affine schemes respectively parameterizing $$\partial {\mathcal {O}}$$ ∂ O -marked bases and $${\mathcal {P}}_{\mathcal {O}}$$ P O -marked bases are isomorphic. We are able to describe this isomorphism as a projection that can be explicitly constructed without the use of Gröbner elimination techniques. In particular, we obtain a straightforward embedding of border schemes in affine spaces of lower dimension. Furthermore, we observe that Pommaret marked schemes give an open covering of Hilbert schemes parameterizing 0-dimensional schemes without any group actions. Several examples are given throughout the paper.

AbstractWe systematically study Schottky group actions on homogeneous rational manifolds and find two new families besides those given by Nori’s well-known construction. This yields new examples of non-Kähler compact complex manifolds having free fundamental groups. We then investigate their analytic and geometric invariants such as the Kodaira and algebraic dimension, the Picard group and the deformation theory, thus extending results due to Lárusson and to Seade and Verjovsky. As a byproduct, we see that the Schottky construction allows to recover examples of equivariant compactifications of {{\rm{SL}}(2,\mathbb{C})/\Gamma} for Γ a discrete free loxodromic subgroup of {{\rm{SL}}(2,\mathbb{C})}, previously obtained by A. Guillot.
