Thompson’s conjecture for real semi-simple Lie groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
A proof of Thompson’s conjecture for real semi-simple Lie groups has been given by Kapovich, Millson, and Leeb. In this note, we give another proof of the conjecture by using a theorem of Alekseev, Meinrenken, and Woodward from symplectic geometry.

The Α-invariant and Thompson’s Conjecture
In 1981, Thompson proved that, if n > 1 is any integer and G is any finite subgroup of GLn(C), then G has a semi-invariant of degree at most 4n2. He conjectured that, in fact, there is a universal constant C such that for any n ∈ N and any finite subgroup G < GLn(C), G has a semi-invariant of degree at most Cn. This conjecture would imply that the α-invariant αG(P), as introduced by Tian in 198...
متن کاملMOSTOW - MARGULIS RIGIDITY WITH LOCALLY COMPACT TARGETS 3 Construction
Let ? be a lattice in a simple higher rank Lie group G. We describe all locally compact (not necessarily Lie) groups H in which ? can be embedded as a lattice. For lattices ? in rank one groups G (with the only exception of non-uniform lattices in G ' SL 2 (R), which are virtually free groups) we give a similar description of all possible locally compact groups H, in which ? can be embedded as ...
متن کاملComplex and Kähler structures on compact homogeneous manifolds - their existence, classification and moduli problem
In the field of complex geometry one of the primary problems is whether given real manifolds admit certain complex geometrical structure such as complex structures, Kähler structures, or Stein structures. For the case of complex structures, for instance, we have a long standing problem of whether S6 admits a complex structure. We can consider this problem in a more general setting: we extend th...
متن کاملThe Action of Thompson’s Group on a Cat(0) Boundary
For a given locally finite CAT(0) cubical complex X with base vertex ∗, we define the profile of a given geodesic ray c issuing from ∗ to be the collection of all hyperplanes (in the sense of [17]) crossed by c. We give necessary conditions for a collection of hyperplanes to form the profile of a geodesic ray, and conjecture that these conditions are also sufficient. We show that profiles in di...
متن کاملA Note on Lie Groups
In this note we present two proofs of Theorems A and B ; one proof uses differential forms, the other, which is somewhat more elementary, is based on differential geometry. Let then G be a real connected compact Lie group and assume that the fundamental group of G is infinite. We have to prove that G is not semi-simple. We note that for compact groups "semi-simple" means that the center of G is...
