In 1995, S. Adams and G. Stuck as well as A. Zeghib independently provided a classification of non-compact Lie groups which can act isometrically and locally effectively on compact Lorentzian manifolds. In the case that the corresponding…
We formulate a conjectural Lefschetz formula for locally symmetric spaces of finite volume. The formula can be verified in the compact case and for Riemann surfaces.
This is a final step in a local classification of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor that are not conformally flat or locally symmetric.
We show the local rigidity of complex hyperbolic lattices in classical Hermitian semisimple Lie groups, $SU(np,p), Sp(2n+2,\mathbb R), SO^*(2n+2), SO(2n,2)$. This reproves or generalizes some results in \cite{GM, KKP, Klingler-inv,…
The paper develops elementary linear algebra methods to compute the determinants of the tensor symmetrizations of quadratic and hermitian forms over fields of good characteristic. Explicit results are given for the partitions $(n)$,…
We survey recent results in hermitian integral geometry, i.e. integral geometry on complex vector spaces and complex space forms. We study valuations and curvature measures on complex space forms and describe how the global and local…
For a closed locally symmetric space M=\Gamma\G/K and a representation of G we consider the push-forward of the fundamental class in the homology of the linear group and a related invariant in algebraic K-theory. We discuss the…
We extend the former results of Ganea and the two of the authors with Takeda on the homotopy commutativity of the loop spaces of Hermitian symmetric spaces such that the loop spaces of all irreducible symmetric spaces but $\mathbb{C}P^3$…
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…
Let $X=U/K$ be a compact Hermitian symmetric space, and let $\sE$ be a $U$-homogeneous Hermitian vector bundle on $X$. In a previous paper, we showed that the space of nearly holomorphic sections is well-adapted for harmonic analysis in…
A manifold is locally \emph{$k$-fold symmetric}, if for any point and any $k$-dimensional vector subspace tangent to this point there exists a local isometry such that this point is a fixed point and the differential of the isometry…
We consider the Laplacian with a non-homogeneous metric in a tubular neighbourhood of a compact hypersurface in the Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension, subject to Neumann boundary conditions. It is shown that, in the limit of the width…
We compute the fundamental group of a toroidal compactification of a Hermitian locally symmetric space $D/\Gamma$, without assuming either that $\Gamma$is neat or that it is arithmetic. We also give bounds for the first Betti number.
We summarize recent results initiating spectral analysis on pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma \backslash G/H$, beyond the classical setting where $H$ is compact (e.g. theory of automorphic forms for arithmetic $\Gamma$) or…
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…
The aim of this note is to explain a generalization to the real case of a well known result on the automorphism group of an unbounded tube type symmetric domain in a complex vector space of finite dimension.
We study Serrin's overdetermined boundary value problems in bounded domains on weighted Riemannian manifolds. When the closure of the domain is compact, we establish a rigidity result that characterizes both the solution and the geometry of…
Directional notions in topology and analysis naturally lead to nonsymmetric structures such as quasi-metrics, quasi-uniformities, and modular spaces. In these settings, classical notions of connectedness and completion based on symmetric…
This work deals with relations between a bounded cohomological invariant and the geometry of Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type. The invariant, obtained from the K\"ahler class, is used to define and characterize a special class…
We characterize symmetric spaces of non-positive curvature by the equality case of general inequalities between geometric quantities
