Infinite dimensional non-positively curved symmetric spaces of finite rank
This paper concerns a study of three families of non-compact type symmetric spaces of infinite dimension. Although they have infinite dimension they have finite rank. More precisely, we show they have finite telescopic dimension. We also show the existence of Furstenberg maps for some group actions on these spaces. Such maps appear as a first step toward superrigidity results.
متن کاملExotic smooth structures on nonpositively curved symmetric spaces
We construct series of examples of exotic smooth structures on compact locally symmetric spaces of noncompact type. In particular, we obtain higher rank examples, which do not support Riemannian metric of nonpositive curvature. The examples are obtained by taking the connected sum with an exotic sphere. To detect the change of the smooth structure we use a tangential map from the locally symmet...
متن کاملDecomposable symmetric mappings between infinite dimensional spaces
Decomposable mappings from the space of symmetric k-fold tensors over E, ⊗ s,k E, to the space of k-fold tensors over F , ⊗ s,k F , are those linear operators which map nonzero decomposable elements to nonzero decomposable elements. We prove that any decomposable mapping is induced by an injective linear operator between the spaces on which the tensors are defined. Moreover, if the decomposable...
متن کاملOn actions of discrete groups on nonpositively curved spaces
This note contains several observations concerning discrete groups of non-parabolic isometries of spaces of nonpositive curvature. We prove that (almost all) surface mapping class groups do not admit such actions; in particular, they do not act cocompactly. A new obstruction to the existence of a nonpositively curved metric on closed manifolds is presented. We give examples of 4-manifolds bered...
متن کاملGradient Flows on Nonpositively Curved Metric Spaces and Harmonic Maps
The notion of gradient flows is generalized to a metric space setting without any linear structure. The metric spaces considered are a generalization of Hilbert spaces, and the properties of such metric spaces are used to set up a finite-difference scheme of variational form. The proof of the Crandall–Liggett generation theorem is adapted to show convergence. The resulting flow generates a stro...
