On integrable codimension one Anosov actions of \(\mathbb R^k\) (Q632339)

The authors study codimension one Anosov actions of \(\mathbb R^k\) (\(\;k\geq 1\)) on closed connected orientable manifolds of dimension \(n+k\) with \(n\geq 3\). They show that the fundamental group of the ambient manifold is solvable if and only if the weak stable foliation admits a transverse affine structure. The also study the case where one 1-parameter subgroup of \(\mathbb R^k\) admits a cross-section, and compare this to the situation where the whole action is transverse to a fibration over a manifold of dimension \(n\). Under some assumptions about the smoothness of the sub-bundle \(E^{ss}\oplus E^{uu}\) , and in the case where the action preserves the volume, the authors prove that the action is topologically equivalent to a suspension of a linear Anosov action of \(\mathbb{Z}^k\) on \(\mathbb T^{n}\).
