A criterion of proper action on some compact extensions of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) and applications. (English) Zbl 07668717

Let \(G\) be the semi-direct product group \(K \rtimes\mathbb R^n\) where \(K\) designates a compact subgroup \(K\) of \(GL(n, \mathbb R)\), let \(H\) be a closed subgroup of \(G\) and \(\Gamma\) be a discontinuous group for the homogeneous space \(\Xi= G/H\). In this work, the authors establish a geometrical criterion of the proper action of \(\Gamma\) on \(\Xi\), which requires an accurate description of the structure of closed connected subgroups of Euclidean motion groups. To this end, many elementary linear algebra results appear and they record some facts about discrete subgroups of Euclidean motion groups. As a consequence, they establish a criterion for the existence of a compact Clifford-Klein form \(\Gamma\backslash \Xi\) and study the Calabi-Markus phenomenon.
