Polynomial structures and the uniqueness of affinely flat infra-nilmanifolds (Q1358212): Difference between revisions

The paper is a study of the polynomial structures on an affine crystallographic group as a natural generalization of the compact complete affinely flat manifolds. The author establishes several interesting results about some special affine representations. The final result is Theorem 8.2: Let \(E\) be an almost-crystallographic group of rank \(n\), acting properly discontinuously on \(\mathbb{R}^n\) in two ways via \(\psi_1: E\to\text{Aff} (\mathbb{R}^n)\) and \(\psi_2: E\to\text{Aff}(\mathbb{R}^n)\). Then there exists a polynomial diffeomorphism \(p:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}^n\) of degree \(\leq(n!\cdot n)^2\) such that \(\psi_1= p\circ \psi_2\circ p^{-1}\). An important commentary about the upper bounds of the degree of \(p\) for special representations \(\psi_1,\psi_2\) is made.
