Topology Invited Lecture 6.13 Smoothing finite group actions on three-manifolds John Pardon Abstract: There exist continuous finite group actions on three-manifolds which are not smoothable, in the sense that they are not smooth with respect to any smooth structure. For example, Bing constructed an involution of the three-sphere whose fixed set is a wildly embedded two-sphere. However, one can still ask whether every continuous finite group action on a three-manifold can be uniformly approximated by a smooth action. We outline an approach to answering this question in the affirmative, based on the author’s work on the Hilbert–Smith conjecture in dimension three. © International Congress of Mathematicians – ICM www.icm2018.org     Os direitos sobre todo o material deste canal pertencem ao Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada, sendo vedada a utilização total ou parcial do conteúdo sem autorização prévia e por escrito do referido titular, salvo nas hipóteses previstas na legislação vigente.
