Topological Zimmer conjecture for low-dimensional compact manifolds
Let , and let be a connected compact -dimensional manifold with . A group action of on by homeomorphisms is equivalently a homomorphism
Topological Zimmer conjecture. Every such action factors through a finite group; equivalently, every homomorphism
has finite image.
This is the topological form of Zimmer's program for special linear groups. The survey records proofs in several cases, including one-dimensional manifolds, tori, spheres, products of two spheres, flat manifolds, nilpotent manifolds, and certain orientable manifolds, but the general statement remains open.
