On discontinuous group actions on non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces
This article gives an up-to-date account of the theory of discrete group actions on non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces. As an introduction of the motifs of this article, we begin by reviewing the current knowledge of possible global forms of pseudoRiemannian manifolds with constant curvatures, and discuss what kind of problems we propose to pursue. For pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, isometric acti...

متن کاملDiscontinuous Groups Acting on Homogeneous Spaces of Reductive Type
Our concern will be mainly with the case where G/H is a homogeneous space of reductive type (Definition 5). If H is not compact, the action of a discrete subgroup Γ of G on G/H is not automatically properly discontinuous and the double coset Γ\G/H may be non-Hausdorff. This fact is the main difficulty in our problem. In fact, it may well happen that only finite subgroups of G can act properly d...
متن کاملCriterion for proper actions on homogeneous spaces of reductive groups
Let M be a manifold, on which a real reductive Lie group G acts transitively. The action of a discrete subgroup Γ on M is not always properly discontinuous. In this paper, we give a criterion for properly discontinuous actions, which generalizes our previous work [6] for an analogous problem in the continuous setting. Furthermore, we introduce the discontinuous dual t(H:G) of a subset H of G , ...
متن کاملProperly Discontinuous Isometric Actions on the Unit Sphere of Infinite Dimensional Hilbert Spaces
We study the properly discontinuous and isometric actions on the unit sphere of infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces and we get some new examples of Hilbert manifold with constant positive sectional curvature. We prove some necessary conditions for a group to act isometrically and properly discontinuously, and in the case of finitely generated Abelian groups the necessary and sufficient conditio...
