3-DIMENSIONAL NON-COMPACT INFRA-NILMANIFOLDS

  • Published : 1999.01.01

Abstract

Let G be the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group. A discrete subgroup of Isom(G), acting freely on G with non-compact quotient, must be isomorphic to either 1, Z, Z2 or the fundamental group of the Klein bottle. We classify all discrete representations of such groups into Isom(G) up to affine conjugacy. This yields an affine calssification of 3-dimensional non-compact infra-nilmanifolds.
