Let $K\backslash G$ be an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of noncompact type and $\Gamma \,\subset\, G$ a closed torsionfree discrete subgroup. Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $\rho\, :\, \pi_1(X, x_0)\,\longrightarrow\,…

A curve $\gamma: [0,1] \rightarrow S^n$ of class $C^k$ ($k \geqslant n$) is locally convex if the vectors $\gamma(t), \gamma'(t), \gamma"(t), \cdots, \gamma^{(n)}(t)$ are a positive orthonormal basis to $R^{n+1}$ for all $t \in [0,1]$.…

We show that there are homotopy equivalences $h:N\to M$ between closed manifolds which are induced by cell-like maps $p:N\to X$ and $q:M\to X$ but which are not homotopic to homeomorphisms. The phenomenon is based on construction of…

For dimensions n greater than or equal to 3, we show that the space of metrics of positive scalar curvature on the n-sphere is homotopy equivalent to a subspace which takes the form of a H-space with a homotopy commutative, homotopy…

In this paper we study the invariance of the noncmmutative gauge theories under C, P and T transformations. For the noncommutative space (when only the spatial part of $\theta$ is non-zero) we show that NCQED is Parity invariant. In…

We extend the definition of generalized parity $P$, charge-conjugation $C$ and time-reversal $T$ operators to nondiagonalizable pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians, and we use these generalized operators to describe the full set of symmetries of…

We study the index of symmetry of a compact generalized flag manifold M=G/H endowed with an invariant Kaehler structure. When the group G is simple we show that the leaves of symmetry are irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces and we…

A reductive homogeneous space $G/H$ is always diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of an orbit of a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. We prove that if $G/H$ admits compact quotients, then the sphere bundle associated to this normal bundle is…

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…

We prove a gap rigidity theorem for diagonal curves in irreducible compact Hermitian symmetric spaces of tube type, which is a dual analogy to a theorem obtained by Mok in noncompact case. Motivated by the proof we give a theorem on weaker…

We determine loop space decompositions of simply-connected four-manifolds, $(n-1)$-connected $2n$-dimensional manifolds provided $n\notin\{4,8\}$, and connected sums of products of two spheres. These are obtained as special cases of a more…

We prove that the discontinuity group of every locally bounded homomorphism of a Lie group into a Lie group is not only compact and connected, which is known, but is also commutative.

For $n\geq 2$ we compute the homotopy groups of $(n-1)$-connected closed manifolds of dimension $(2n+1)$. Away from the finite set of primes dividing the order of the torsion subgroup in homology, the $p$-local homotopy groups of $M$ are…

We discuss an extension of the Weingarten formula, to the case of noncommutative homogeneous spaces, under suitable "easiness" assumptions. The spaces that we consider are noncommutative algebraic manifolds, generalizing the spaces of type…

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…

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…

Assume that all spaces and maps are localised at a fixed prime $p$. We study the possibility of generating a universal space $U(X)$ from a space $X$ which is universal in the category of homotopy associative, homotopy commutative H-spaces…

In this article we consider a space B_{com}G assembled from commuting elements in a Lie group G first defined in [Adem, Cohen, Torres-Giese 2012]. We describe homotopy-theoretic properties of these spaces using homotopy colimits, and their…

Suppose X/Gamma is an arithmetic locally symmetric space of noncompact type (with the natural metric induced by the Killing form of the isometry group of X), and let p be a point on the visual boundary of X. It was shown by T.Hattori that…

In this paper, we describe the total space $E_{com} U(3)$ of the principal $U(3)$-bundle associated with the classifying space for commutativity $B_{com} U(3)$ as a homotopy colimit of a diagram of spaces and offer a computation of the mod…
