Géométries modèles de dimension trois

Yves de Cornulier (2008/2009)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

On expose une preuve détaillée de la classification par Thurston des huit géométries modèles de dimension trois.

Geometry of compactifications of locally symmetric spaces

Lizhen Ji, Robert Macpherson (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

For a locally symmetric space M , we define a compactification M M ( ) which we call the “geodesic compactification”. It is constructed by adding limit points in M ( ) to certain geodesics in M . The geodesic compactification arises in other contexts. Two general constructions of Gromov for an ideal boundary of a Riemannian manifold give M ( ) for locally symmetric spaces. Moreover, M ( ) has a natural group theoretic construction using the Tits building. The geodesic compactification plays two fundamental roles in...

Groupes de Ping-Pong et comptage

Xavier Thirion (2010)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Dans cet article, nous étudions les propriétés asymptotiques d’une large classe de sous-groupe discrets du groupe linéaire réel : les groupes de Ping-Pong. Nous décrivons leur action sur l’espace projectif réel et le comportement à l’infini de leur fonction de comptage.

Groupes de Schottky et comptage

Jean-François Quint (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Soient X un espace symétrique de type non compact et Γ un groupe discret d’isométries de X du type de Schottky. Dans cet article, nous donnons des équivalents des fonctions orbitales de comptage pour l’action de Γ sur X .

Harmonic maps and representations of non-uniform lattices of PU ( m , 1 )

Vincent Koziarz, Julien Maubon (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study representations of lattices of PU ( m , 1 ) into PU ( n , 1 ) . We show that if a representation is reductive and if m is at least 2, then there exists a finite energy harmonic equivariant map from complex hyperbolic m -space to complex hyperbolic n -space. This allows us to give a differential geometric proof of rigidity results obtained by M. Burger and A. Iozzi. We also define a new invariant associated to representations into PU ( n , 1 ) of non-uniform lattices in PU ( 1 , 1 ) , and more generally of fundamental groups of orientable...

Holomorphic actions, Kummer examples, and Zimmer program

Serge Cantat, Abdelghani Zeghib (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We classify compact Kähler manifolds M of dimension n 3 on which acts a lattice of an almost simple real Lie group of rank n - 1 . This provides a new line in the so-called Zimmer program, and characterizes certain complex tori as compact Kähler manifolds with large automorphisms groups.

Hyperbolic geometry and moduli of real cubic surfaces

Daniel Allcock, James A. Carlson, Domingo Toledo (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let 0 be the moduli space of smooth real cubic surfaces. We show that each of its components admits a real hyperbolic structure. More precisely, one can remove some lower-dimensional geodesic subspaces from a real hyperbolic space H 4 and form the quotient by an arithmetic group to obtain an orbifold isomorphic to a component of the moduli space. There are five components. For each we describe the corresponding lattices in PO ( 4 , 1 ) . We also derive several new and several old results on the topology of 0 ....
