Teichmüller spaces of Seifert fibered manifolds with infinite \(\pi _ 1\) (Q5895458)

This is an announcement of the results of an article with the same title. Let M be a Seifert fibered manifold with infinite \(\pi_ 1\). Then M has a geometric structure modelled on one of \(H^ 2\times {\mathbb{R}}\), \(_ 2{\mathbb{R}}^{\sim}\), \(E^ 3\), Nil, \(S^ 2\times {\mathbb{R}}\). The author defines the Teichmüller space of M, denoted by \({\mathcal T}(M)\), to be the set of all geometric structures on M modulo isotopy. \({\mathcal T}(M)\) has a natural topology induced from the smooth topology. In this paper the topological types of \({\mathcal T}(M)\) are determined. Except for \(S^ 2\times {\mathbb{R}}\)-geometry, they are Euclidean spaces and the dimension is determined by the base space of M. This is shown by using the fact that there is a principal fibre bundle \({\mathcal T}(M)\to {\mathcal T}(O)\), where \({\mathcal T}(O)\) denotes the Teichmüller space of the base orbifold of M. Moreover it is shown that in this case \({\mathcal T}(M)\) is embedded in a canonical Euclidean space with infinite dimension.
