Complex-symmetric spaces

Ralf Lehmann (1989)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

A compact complex space X is called complex-symmetric with respect to a subgroup G of the group Aut 0 ( X ) , if each point of X is isolated fixed point of an involutive automorphism of G . It follows that G is almost G 0 -homogeneous. After some examples we classify normal complex-symmetric varieties with G 0 reductive. It turns out that X is a product of a Hermitian symmetric space and a compact torus embedding satisfying some additional conditions. In the smooth case these torus embeddings are classified...

On the Moment Map of a Multiplicity Free Action

Andrzej Daszkiewicz, Tomasz Przebinda (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

The purpose of this note is to show that the Orbit Conjecture of C. Benson, J. Jenkins, R. L. Lipsman and G. Ratcliff [BJLR1] is true. Another proof of that fact has been given by those authors in [BJLR2]. Their proof is based on their earlier results, announced together with the conjecture in [BJLR1]. We follow another path: using a geometric quantization result of Guillemin-Sternberg [G-S] we reduce the conjecture to a similar statement for a projective space, which is a special case...

Spherical functions on ordered symmetric spaces

Jacques Faraut, Joachim Hilgert, Gestur Ólafsson (1994)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We define on an ordered semi simple symmetric space ℳ = G / H a family of spherical functions by an integral formula similar to the Harish-Chandra integral formula for spherical functions on a Riemannian symmetric space of non compact type. Associated with these spherical functions we define a spherical Laplace transform. This transform carries the composition product of invariant causal kernels onto the ordinary product. We invert this transform when G is a complex group, H a real form of G ,...
