Small $C^1$ actions of semidirect products on compact manifolds

Abstract

Let T be a compact fibered 3–manifold, presented as a mapping torus of a compact, orientable surface S with monodromy ψ, and let M be a compact Riemannian manifold. Our main result is that if the induced action ψ on H1(S, ) has no eigenvalues on the unit circle, then there exists a neighborhood 𝒰 of the trivial action in the space of C1 actions of π1(T) on M such that any action in 𝒰 is abelian. We will prove that the same result holds in the generality of an infinite cyclic extension of an arbitrary finitely generated group H provided that the conjugation action of the cyclic group on H1(H, )0 has no eigenvalues of modulus one. We thus generalize a result of A McCarthy, which addressed the case of abelian-by-cyclic groups acting on compact manifolds.

Keywords
groups acting on manifolds, hyperbolic dynamics, fibered $3$–manifold, $C^1$–close to the identity
