This paper uses work of Haettel to classify all subgroups of PGL(4,R) isomorphic to (R^3 , +), up to conjugacy. We use this to show there are 4 families of generalized cusps up to projective equivalence in dimension 3.

A generalized cusp $C$ is diffeomorphic to $[0,infty)$ times a closed Euclidean manifold. Geometrically $C$ is the quotient of a properly convex domain by a lattice, $Gamma$, in one of a family of affine groups $G(psi)$, parameterized by a point $psi$ in the (dual closed) Weyl chamber for $SL(n+1,mathbb{R})$, and $Gamma$ determines the cusp up to equivalence. These affine groups correspond to certain fibered geometries, each of which is a bundle over an open simplex with fiber a horoball in hyperbolic space, and the lattices are classified by certain Bieberbach groups plus some auxiliary data. The cusp has finite Busemann measure if and only if $G(psi)$ contains unipotent elements. There is a natural underlying Euclidean structure on $C$ unrelated to the Hilbert metric.
A limit group is the limit of a sequence of conjugates of the diagonal Cartan subgroup, C, of SL(3,R). We show C has 5 possible limit groups, up to conjugacy. Each limit group is determined by an equivalence class of nonstandard triangle, and we give a criterion for a sequence of conjugates of C to converge to each of the 5 limit groups.
In this paper, a generalized cusp is a properly convex manifold with strictly convex boundary that is diffeomorphic to $M times [0, infty)$ where $M$ is a closed Euclidean manifold. These are classified in [2]. The marked moduli space is homeomorphic to a subspace of the space of conjugacy classes of representations of $pi_1(M)$. It has one description as a generalization of a trace-variety, and another description involving weight data that is similar to that used to describe semi-simple Lie groups. It is also a bundle over the space of Euclidean similarity (conformally flat) structures on $M$, and the fiber is a closed cone in the space of cubic differentials. For 3-dimensional orientable generalized cusps, the fiber is homeomorphic to a cone on a solid torus.
In this article we show that every closed orientable smooth $4$--manifold admits a smooth embedding in the complex projective $3$--space.
We determine all the normal subgroups of the group of C^r diffeomorphisms of R^n, r = 1,2,...,infinity, except when r=n+1 or n=4, and also of the group of homeomorphisms of R^n (r=0). We also study the group A_0 of diffeomorphisms of an open manifold M that are isotopic to the identity. If M is the interior of a compact manifold with nonempty boundary, then the quotient of A_0 by the normal subgroup of diffeomorphisms that coincide with the identity near to a given end e of M is simple.
