Geodesically equivalent metrics on homogenous spaces

Neda Bokan, Tijana Šukilović, Srdjan Vukmirović (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Two metrics on a manifold are geodesically equivalent if the sets of their unparameterized geodesics coincide. We show that if two G -invariant metrics of arbitrary signature on homogenous space G / H are geodesically equivalent, they are affinely equivalent, i.e. they have the same Levi-Civita connection. We also prove that the existence of nonproportional, geodesically equivalent, G -invariant metrics on homogenous space G / H implies that their holonomy algebra cannot be full. We give an algorithm for...

Geometric orbifolds.

William D. Dunbar (1988)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

An orbifold is a topological space which ?locally looks like? the orbit space of a properly discontinuous group action on a manifold. After a brief review of basic concepts, we consider the special case 3-dimensional orbifolds of the form GammaM, where M is a simply-connected 3-dimensional homogeneous space corresponding to one of Thurston?s eight geometries, and where Gamma < Isom(M) acts properly discontinuously. A general description of these geometric orbifolds is given and the closed...

Geometric structures on the complement of a projective arrangement

Wim Couwenberg, Gert Heckman, Eduard Looijenga (2005)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Consider a complex projective space with its Fubini-Study metric. We study certain one parameter deformations of this metric on the complement of an arrangement (= finite union of hyperplanes) whose Levi-Civita connection is of Dunkl type. Interesting examples are obtained from the arrangements defined by finite complex reflection groups. We determine a parameter interval for which the metric is locally of Fubini-Study type, flat, or complex-hyperbolic. We find a finite subset of this interval for...

Geometric theta-lifting for the dual pair 𝕊𝕆 2 m , 𝕊 p 2 n

Sergey Lysenko (2011)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let X be a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic  > 2 . Consider the dual pair H = SO 2 m , G = Sp 2 n over X with H split. Write Bun G and Bun H for the stacks of G -torsors and H -torsors on X . The theta-kernel Aut G , H on Bun G × Bun H yields theta-lifting functors F G : D ( Bun H ) D ( Bun G ) and F H : D ( Bun G ) D ( Bun H ) between the corresponding derived categories. We describe the relation of these functors with Hecke operators. In two particular cases these functors realize the geometric Langlands functoriality for the above pair (in the non ramified case)....

Géométrie de la structure adjointe sur un groupe de Lie et algèbres de type 𝒫 1

Georges Giraud (1982)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

À partir de l’étude de l’intégrabilité de la structure adjointe sur un groupe de Lie 𝒢 , on est amené à introduire l’algèbre de Lie h g des opérateurs symétriques du crochet de l’algèbre de Lie g de 𝒢 . On fait apparaître une décomposition canonique de toute algèbre de Lie de centre nul en somme directe σ b d’idéaux caractéristiques, où σ est somme de deux sous-algèbres abéliennes et où h b est formée d’opérateurs nilpotents.Nous montrons que l’étude de la platitude à l’ordre 2 de la structure adjointe...

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...
