Curvature Estimates for Irreducible Symmetric Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
By making use of the classification of real simple Lie algebra, we get the maximum of the squared length of restricted roots case by case, thus we get the upper bounds of sectional curvature for irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of compact type. As an application, we verify Sampson’s conjecture in all cases for irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type.

The Partial Positivity of the Curvature in Riemannian Symmetric Spaces
In this paper, we determine the partial positivity(resp., negativity) of the curvature of all irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces. From the classifications of abstract root systems and maximal subsystems, we can give the calculations for symmetric spaces both in classical types and in exceptional types.
متن کاملSymmetric symplectic spaces with Ricci-type curvature
We determine the isomorphism classes of symmetric symplectic manifolds of dimension at least 4 which are connected, simply-connected and have a curvature tensor which has only one non-vanishing irreducible component – the Ricci tensor.
متن کاملCommutative curvature operators over four-dimensional generalized symmetric spaces
Commutative properties of four-dimensional generalized symmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifolds were considered. Specially, in this paper, we studied Skew-Tsankov and Jacobi-Tsankov conditions in 4-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian generalized symmetric manifolds.
متن کاملA characterization of irreducible symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings of higher rank by their asymptotic geometry
We study geodesically complete and locally compact Hadamard spaces X whose Tits boundary is a connected irreducible spherical building. We show that X is symmetric iff complete geodesics in X do not branch and a Euclidean building otherwise. Furthermore, every boundary equivalence (cone topology homeomorphism preserving the Tits metric) between two such spaces is induced by a homothety. As an a...
متن کاملGeneralized Symmetric Berwald Spaces
In this paper we study generalized symmetric Berwald spaces. We show that if a Berwald space $(M,F)$ admits a parallel $s-$structure then it is locally symmetric. For a complete Berwald space which admits a parallel s-structure we show that if the flag curvature of $(M,F)$ is everywhere nonzero, then $F$ is Riemannian.
