Spherical Space Forms: Homotopy Types and Self-Equivalences for the Group (ℤ/a ⋊ ℤ/b) × SL2 (p)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
Let $G=\left( \mathbb{Z}/a\rtimes \mathbb{Z}/b \right)\times \text{S}{{\text{L}}_{2}}\left( {{\mathbb{F}}_{p}} \right)$, and let $X\left( n \right)$ be an $n$-dimensional $CW$-complex of the homotopy type of an $n$-sphere. We study the automorphism group $\text{Aut}\left( G \right)$ in order to compute the number of distinct homotopy types of spherical space forms with respect to free and cellular $G$-actions on all $CW$-complexes $X\left( 2dn-1 \right)$, where $2d$ is the period of $G$. The groups $\varepsilon \left( X\left( 2dn-1 \right)/\mu \right)$ of self homotopy equivalences of space forms $X\left( 2dn-1 \right)/\mu$ associated with free and cellular $G$-actions $\mu$ on $X\left( 2dn-1 \right)$ are determined as well.
