Degree of homogeneity on suspensions of manifolds (Q1705842): Difference between revisions

The group of homeomorphisms \({\mathcal H}(X)\) of a space \(X\) acts on \(X\). If there is a single orbit of this action, so that for any two points of \(X\) there is a homeomorphism carrying one to the other then \(X\) is said to be 1-homogeneous. If \({\mathcal H}(X)\) has exactly \(n\)-orbits then \(X\) is said to be \(\frac{1}{n}\)-homogeneous. This paper considers the cases where \(X\) is the suspension of a manifold \(M\). The author shows that \(\Sigma M\) is \(1\)-homogenous if and only if \(M\) is a topological sphere, otherwise it is \(\frac{1}{2}\)-homogeneous.
