Geometry Of Weakly Symmetric Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
Weakly symmetric spaces are particular Riemannian homogeneous spaces which have been introduced by Selberg [21] in 1956 in the framework of his trace formula. They attracted only little interest until the author and Vanhecke [7] found a simple geometric characterization of weakly symmetric spaces which lead to a large number of new examples. The purpose of this note is to present a survey about this topic.

Basic Facts about Weakly Symmetric Spaces
Symmetric spaces in the sense of E. Cartan supply major examples in Riemannian geometry. The study of their structure is connected closely to the theory of Lie groups. On these spaces, global analysis, particularly integration theory and theory of partial differential operators, arises in a canonical fashion by the requirement of geometric invariance. On R these two subjects are related to one ...
متن کاملOn 5-dimensional 2-step homogeneous randers nilmanifolds of Douglas type
In this paper we first obtain the non-Riemannian Randers metrics of Douglas type on two-step homogeneous nilmanifolds of dimension five. Then we explicitly give the flag curvature formulae and the $S$-curvature formulae for the Randers metrics of Douglas type on these spaces. Moreover, we prove that the only simply connected five-dimensional two-step homogeneous Randers nilmanifolds of D...

متن کاملOn pairwise weakly Lindelof bitopological spaces
In the present paper we introduce and study the notion of pairwise weakly Lindelof bitopological spaces and obtain some results. Further, we also study the pairwise weakly Lindelof subspaces and subsets, and investigate some of their properties. It was proved that a pairwise weakly Lindelof property is not a hereditary property.
