Generalized symmetric spaces and minimal models

Anna Dumańska-Małyszko, Zofia Stępień, Aleksy Tralle (1996)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We prove that any compact simply connected manifold carrying a structure of Riemannian 3- or 4-symmetric space is formal in the sense of Sullivan. This result generalizes Sullivan's classical theorem on the formality of symmetric spaces, but the proof is of a different nature, since for generalized symmetric spaces techniques based on the Hodge theory do not work. We use the Thomas theory of minimal models of fibrations and the classification of 3- and 4-symmetric spaces.

Generalized Tanaka-Webster and Levi-Civita connections for normal Jacobi operator in complex two-plane Grassmannians

Eunmi Pak, Juan de Dios Pérez, Young Jin Suh (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study classifying problems of real hypersurfaces in a complex two-plane Grassmannian G 2 ( m + 2 ) . In relation to the generalized Tanaka-Webster connection, we consider that the generalized Tanaka-Webster derivative of the normal Jacobi operator coincides with the covariant derivative. In this case, we prove complete classifications for real hypersurfaces in G 2 ( m + 2 ) satisfying such conditions.

Generating varieties for the triple loop space of classical Lie groups

Yasuhiko Kamiyama (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For G = SU(n), Sp(n) or Spin(n), let C G ( S U ( 2 ) ) be the centralizer of a certain SU(2) in G. We have a natural map J : G / C G ( S U ( 2 ) ) Ω ³ G . For a generator α of H ( G / C G ( S U ( 2 ) ) ; / 2 ) , we describe J⁎(α). In particular, it is proved that J : H ( G / C G ( S U ( 2 ) ) ; / 2 ) H ( Ω ³ G ; / 2 ) is injective.

Generic one-step bracket-generating distributions of rank four

Chiara De Zanet (2015)

Archivum Mathematicum

We give a uniform, explicit description of the generic types of one–step bracket–generating distributions of rank four. A manifold carrying such a structure has dimension at least five and no higher than ten. For each of the generic types, we give a brief description of the resulting class of generic distributions and of geometries equivalent to them. For dimensions different from eight and nine, these are available in the literature. The remaining two cases are dealt with in my doctoral thesis.
