In this paper, we establish the rigidity result for local holomorphic volume preserving maps from an irreducible Hermitian manifold of compact type into its Cartesian products.
We consider locally symmetric manifolds with a fixed universal covering, and construct for each such manifold M a simplicial complex R whose size is proportional to the volume of M. When M is non-compact, R is homotopically equivalent to M,…
In this note I generalize the classical results of Calabi-Vesentini to certain non-compact locally symmetric domains, namely those that are quotients of a hermitian symmetric domain by a neat arithmetic subgroup of the group of its…
Motivated by Schoen's conjecture on the volume functional for closed hyperbolic manifolds, we generalize the volume comparison theorem of Hu, Ji, and Shi and establish a volume comparison theorem for rank 1 symmetric spaces of non-compact…
We show that every closed, locally homogeneous Riemannian manifold with positive simplicial volume must be homeomorphic to a locally symmetric space of non-compact type.
The asymptotic formula of the number of integral points in non-compact symmetric homogeneous spaces of semi-simple simply connected algebraic groups is given by the average of the product of the number of local solutions twisted by the…
Harmonic manifolds of hypergeometric type form a class of non-compact harmonic manifolds that includes rank one symmetric spaces of non-compact type and Damek-Ricci spaces. When normalizing the metric of a harmonic manifold of…
We show the asymptotics of the volume density function in the class of central harmonic manifolds can be specified arbitrarily and do not determine the geometry.
The asymptotic volume of the polytope of symmetric stochastic matrices can be determined by asymptotic enumeration techniques as in the case of the Birkhoff polytope. These methods can be extended to polytopes of symmetric stochastic…
We consider an entropy-type invariant which measures the polynomial volume growth of submanifolds under the iterates of a map, and we establish sharp uniform lower bounds of this invariant for the following classes of symplectomorphisms of…
We show that the virtual i-th Betti number of acompact locally symmetric space is either the i-th Betti number of the compact dual or else is infinite.
We compute the polynomial entropy of the induced maps on hyperspace for a homeomorphism $f$ of an interval or a circle with finitely many non-wandering points.
The entropy of a classical thermally isolated Hamiltonian system is given by the logarithm of the measure of phase space enclosed by the constant energy hyper-surface, also known as volume entropy. It has been shown that on average the…
We prove that the thin parts of arithmetically defined locally symmetric space take up a negligible part of their volume and deduce asymptotic results on their Betti numbers.
We show that compact, locally symmetric spaces of non-compact type have positive simplicial volume. This gives a positive answer to a question that was first raised by Gromov in 1982. We provide a summary of results that are known to follow…
We formulate a conjecture that arithmetic locally symmetric manifolds have simple homotopy type, and prove it for the non-compact case. More precisely, we show that, for any symmetric space S of non-compact type without Euclidean de Rham…
Building on a technical result by Brunnemann and Rideout on the spectrum of the Volume operator in Loop Quantum Gravity, we show that the dimension of the space of the quadrivalent, diffeomorphism invariant states with no zero-volume nodes…
It is shown that the volume entropy of a Hilbert geometry associated to an $n$-dimensional convex body of class $C^{1,1}$ equals $n-1$. To achieve this result, a new projective invariant of convex bodies, similar to the centro-affine area,…
