چکیده
We classify, up to orbit equivalence, all cohomogeneity one actions on the hyperbolic planes over the complex, quaternionic and Cayley numbers, and on the complex hyperbolic spaces CH, n ≥ 3. For the quaternionic hyperbolic spaces HH, n ≥ 3, we reduce the classification problem to a problem in quaternionic linear algebra and obtain partial results. For real hyperbolic spaces, this classification problem was essentially solved by Élie Cartan.

We classify, up to orbit equivalence, all cohomogeneity one actions on the hyperbolic planes over the complex, quaternionic and Cayley numbers, and on the complex hyperbolic spaces CHn, n ≥ 3. For the quaternionic hyperbolic spaces HHn, n ≥ 3, we reduce the classification problem to a problem in quaternionic linear algebra and obtain partial results. For real hyperbolic spaces, this classificat...
متن کاملul 2 00 4 Harmonic homogeneous manifolds of nonpositive curvature
A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point of the manifold is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for manifolds of nonnegative scalar curvature and for some other classes of manifolds, but is not true in general: there exists a family of homog...

Let be a differentiable action of a Lie group on a differentiable manifold and consider the orbit space with the quotient topology. Dimension of is called the cohomogeneity of the action of on . If is a differentiable manifold of cohomogeneity one under the action of a compact and connected Lie group, then the orbit space is homeomorphic to one of the spaces , , or . In this paper we suppo...
متن کاملA Class of Nonsymmetric Harmonic Riemannian Spaces
Certain solvable extensions of //-type groups provide noncompact counterexamples to a conjecture of Lichnerowicz, which asserted that "harmonic" Riemannian spaces must be rank 1 symmetric spaces. A Riemannian space M with Laplace-Beltrami operator A is called harmonic if, given any function f(x) on M depending only on the distance d(x, Xo) from a given point xo, then also A/(x) depends only on ...
