We also discuss the distally of `affine' actions on n-sphere, for different rotations, and also on the p-adic unit sphere.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-28T17:32:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "distal actions", "compact spaces", "special linear group", "p-adic unit sphere", "corresponding action" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
