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.

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...
