证明了满足“收敛性”的圆的一组同胚是单位圆盘的离散Mobius变换组的限制。这完成了塞弗特纤维空间猜想的证明,并给出了Nielson实现问题的一个新证明。Fuchsian群F是R中单位圆盘D上Mobius变换群的离散子群。F限制于Homeo(5 ′)的子群G,它满足下列收敛性质[GM]。给定G的不同元素序列,则存在x,yeS和子序列{f.}在S {x,y} f上,-· y,f~ -> x在紧集上一致。具有这种性质的群G c Homeo(5 ')称为收敛群。我们宣布以下结果。细节可以在[G]中找到。定理1. G是收敛群当且仅当G在Homeo(5)中共轭到Fuchsian群的限制。一个Seifert流形空间是一个紧的3-流形M,它几乎是一个紧曲面上的S丛,即存在一个投影n:M -· TV使得对于每个x ∈ N,存在x的D邻域使得n~(D)= D × S和π t((r,6X)9(1,02))=其中p ^ O和p,q是互质的并且取决于x和6 e Rmod 27 t。推论2(塞弗特纤维空间猜想)。设M是一个紧致的、可定向的、不可约的(即每个光滑嵌入的S都包围一个3-胞腔)3-流形,且n_x为无穷大,则M是一个Seifert连通空间当且仅当n_x(M)包含一个循环正规子群.编辑于1991年1月7日收到,修订版于1991年4月20日收到。1980年数学学科分类(1985年修订)。小学57 S25;中学20 H10、57 N 05、57 N10。部分由NSF Grant DMS-8902343和Sloan Foundation Fellowship支持。[2]安德鲁·卡森(Andrew Casson)也用不同的方法证明了定理1。©1991美国数学学会0273-0979/91 $1.00+ $.25每页395
A group of homeomorphisms of the circle satisfying the "convergence property" is shown to be the restriction of a discrete group of Mobius transformations of the unit disk. This completes the proof of the Seifert fiber space conjecture and gives a new proof of the Nielson realization problem. A Fuchsian group F is a discrete subgroup of the group of Mobius transformations on the unit disc D in R . F restricts to a subgroup G of Homeo(5') which satisfies the following convergence property [GM]. Given a sequence of distinct elements of G, then there exists x, y e S and a subsequence {f.} such that on S {x, y} f. -• y, f~ -> x uniformly on compact sets. A group G c Homeo(5') with this property is called a convergence group. We announce the following result. The details can be found in [G]. Theorem 1. G is a convergence group if and only if G is conjugate in Homeo(5) to the restriction of a Fuchsian group.* A Seifert fibred space is a compact 3-manifold M which is almost an S bundle over a compact surface, i.e. there exists a projection n : M —• TV such that for each x e N there exists a D neighborhood of x such that n~(D) = D x S and 7t((r, 6X)9 (1, 02)) = (r9pOx + Q62) where p ^ O and p, q are relatively prime and depend on x and 6 e Rmod27t. Corollary 2 (Seifert Fibred Space Conjecture). Let M be a compact, orientable, irreducible {i.e. every smooth embedded S bounds a 3-cell) 3-manifold with infinite nx, then M is a Seifert fibred space if and only if nx(M) contains a cyclic normal subgroup.
