In this paper, I introduce weak representations of a Lie groupoid $G$. I also show that there is an equivalence of categories between the categories of 2-term representations up to homotopy and weak representations of $G$. Furthermore, I…

In this short work we prove that the Hilbert Grassmannians endowed with the weak topology are models for the classifying spaces of the unitary groups. As application of this result one can use Hilbert Grassmannians for the presentation of…

We classify compact homogeneous geometries of irreducible spherical type and rank at least 2 which admit a transitive action of a compact connected group, up to equivariant 2-coverings. We apply our classification to polar actions on…

We classify noncompact homogeneous spaces which are Einstein and asymptotically harmonic. This completes the classification of Riemannian harmonic spaces in the homogeneous case: Any simply connected homogeneous harmonic space is flat, or…

We show that the homotopy category of unpointed spaces admits no set of objects jointly reflecting isomorphisms by giving an explicit counterexample involving large symmetric groups. We also show that, in contrast, the spheres jointly…

We find a one-to-one correspondence between full extrinsic symmetric spaces in (possibly degenerate) inner product spaces and certain algebraic objects called (weak) extrinsic symmetric triples. In particular, this yields a description of…

In the paper we consider Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund operators in nonhomogeneous spaces. We are going to prove the analogs of classical results for homogeneous spaces. Namely, we prove that a Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund operator is of weak type if it is…

Let $M, N$ the be smooth manifolds, $\mathcal{C}^{r}(M,N)$ the space of ${C}^{r}$ maps endowed with weak $C^{r}$ Whitney topology, and $\mathcal{B} \subset \mathcal{C}^{r}(M,N)$ an open subset. It is proved that for $0\leq r<s\leq\infty$…

A complete classification of locally spherically symmetric four-dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes is given in terms of their local conformal symmetries. The general solution is given in terms of canonical metric types and the associated…

We introduce a model structure on the category of graphs, which is Quillen equivalent to the category of $\mathbb{Z}_2$-spaces. A weak equivalence is a graph homomorphism which induces a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-homotopy equivalence between their box…

In this paper, we give a necessarly and sufficient condition for orbits of linear isotropy representations of Riemannian symmetric spaces are biharmonic submanifolds in hyperspheres in Euclidean spaces. In particular, we obtain examples of…

In this paper we prove that the space of homogeneous probability measures on the maximal Satake compactification of an arithmetic locally symmetric space is compact. As an application, we explain some consequences for the distribution of…

We consider (compact or noncompact) Lorentzian manifolds whose holonomy group has compact closure. Among other results, we obtain that this property is equivalent to admitting a parallel timelike vector field. We also derive some properties…

We obtain explicit formulas for the rational homotopy groups of generalised symmetric spaces, i.e., the homogeneous spaces for which the isotropy subgroup appears as the fixed point group of some finite order automorphism of the group. In…

In this paper, we develop the theory of symmetric triads with multiplicities. First, we classify abstract symmetric triads with multiplicities. Second, we determine the symmetric triads with multiplicities corresponding to commutative…

In this paper an extended CPR decomposition theorem for Finsler symmetric spaces of semi-negative curvature in the context of reductive structures is proven. This decomposition theorem is applied to give a geometric description of the…

We give a concise proof of a classification of lens spaces up to orientation-preserving homeomorphisms. The chief ingredient in our proof is a study of the Alexander polynomial of ` symmetric' links in $S^3$.

We study families of submanifolds in symmetric spaces of compact type arising as exponential images of s-orbits of variable radii. Special attention is given to the cases where the s-orbits are symmetric.

The usual way of defining weak equivalences for simplicial presheaves is to require an isomorphism on all sheaves of homotopy groups. We unravel some of the machinery here, and give a more concrete description in terms of local homotopy…

We show that a compact Riemannian manifold with weakly 1/4-pinched sectional curvatures is either locally symmetric or diffeomorphic to a space form.
