Classification of analytic SOo(p,q)-actions on closed (p+q−1)-dimensional manifolds II : p ≥ 3, q=1,2
Abstract
This paper provides a classification of analytic actions of the semi-orthogonal groups SO∘(p,1) and SO∘(p,2), for p ≥ 3, on closed, connected manifolds of dimension p and p+1 respectively. It is a sequel to a previous paper, which treats the case p,q ≥ 3. Adapting Uchida's methods, we explicitly construct analytic actions of SO∘(p,1) on Sp and Sp−1 × S1, and analytic actions of SO∘(p,2) on Sp+1, Sp × S1 and Sp−1 × S2, and we classify them up to analytic isomorphism, using a result of Hitchin and Schneider's classification of analytic SL2(ℝ) actions on surfaces. The main result demonstrates that any analytic SO∘(p,q) action, q=1,2, on a closed, connected (p+q−1)-dimensional manifold is covered by one of the constructed actions or by an action on SO∘(p,q) ×P S1, where P is a maximal parabolic subgroup of SO∘(p,q).

It is a sequel to a previous paper, which treats the case p,q ≥ 3. Adapting Uchida's methods, we explicitly construct analytic actions of SO^∘(p,1) on S^p and S^p−1 × S^1, and analytic actions of SO^∘(p,2) on S^p+1, S^p × S^1 and S^p−1 × S^2, and we classify them up to analytic isomorphism, using a result of Hitchin and Schneider's classification of analytic SL_2(ℝ) actions on surfaces. The main result demonstrates that any analytic SO^∘(p,q) action, q=1,2, on a closed, connected (p+q−1)-dimensional manifold is covered by one of the constructed actions or by an action on SO^∘(p,q) ×_P S^1, where P is a maximal parabolic subgroup of SO^∘(p,q).
