Infinite dimensional non-positively curved symmetric spaces of finite rank

چکیده
This paper concerns a study of three families of non-compact type symmetric spaces of infinite dimension. Although they have infinite dimension they have finite rank. More precisely, we show they have finite telescopic dimension. We also show the existence of Furstenberg maps for some group actions on these spaces. Such maps appear as a first step toward superrigidity results.

On One Family of 13-dimensional Closed Riemannian Positively Curved Manifolds
In the present paper we describe one family of closed Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature. Now the list of known examples is not large (for instance, all known manifolds with dimension > 24 are diffeomorphic to compact rank one symmetric spaces) (we restrict ourselves only by pointing out simply connected manifolds) : 1) Berger described all normally homogeneous closed positi...
متن کاملDegree Theorems and Lipschitz Simplicial Volume for Non-positively Curved Manifolds of Finite Volume
We study a metric version of the simplicial volume on Riemannian manifolds, the Lipschitz simplicial volume, with applications to degree theorems in mind. We establish a proportionality principle and product formula from which we derive an extension of Gromov’s volume comparison theorem to products of negatively curved manifolds or locally symmetric spaces of noncompact type. In contrast, we pr...
متن کاملThe Monge-ampère Operator and Geodesics in the Space of Kähler Potentials
Let X be an n-dimensional compact complex manifold, L → X a positive holomorphic line bundle, and H the space of positively curved hermitian metrics on L. The purpose of this article is to prove that geodesics in the infinite-dimensional symmetric space H can be uniformly approximated by geodesics in the finite-dimensional symmetric spaces Hk = GL(Nk + 1,C)/U(Nk + 1,C), where Nk + 1 = dim(H(L))...
متن کاملProbability Measures Associated to Geodesics in the Space of Kähler Metrics
We associate certain probability measures on R to geodesics in the space HL of positively curved metrics on a line bundle L, and to geodesics in the finite dimensional symmetric space of hermitian norms on H(X, kL). We prove that the measures associated to the finite dimensional spaces converge weakly to the measures related to geodesics in HL as k goes to infinity. The convergence of second or...
متن کاملNon Positively Curved Metric in the Space of Positive Definite Infinite Matrices
We introduce a Riemannian metric with non positive curvature in the (infinite dimensional) manifold Σ∞ of positive invertible operators of a Hilbert space H, which are scalar perturbations of Hilbert-Schmidt operators. The (minimal) geodesics and the geodesic distance are computed. It is shown that this metric, which is complete, generalizes the well known non positive metric for positive defin...
