Rigidity theorems on Hermitian locally symmetric spaces.

January 2012 (has links)
透過使用調和映射的Bochner技巧, Siu[15, 16]證明了對於複維數≥2 時不可約對稱域緊致商空間的複結構的強剛定理. 其後在[9]中, Mok 證明了在任何秩≥2 的不可約對稱域緊致商空間上, 所有具備非正全純雙截曲率的Hermitian 度量必然和典範度量相差一個常數因子. 由這個定理和Siu 的定理可以得出Mostow 剛性定理[14]在特殊情形下的推廣.本論文會對Mok的結果作出研究. / By using Bochner technique of harmonic maps, Siu[15, 16] proved a strong rigidity theorem concerning the complex structure of compact quotients of irreducible bounded symmetric domain of complex dimension≥ 2. Later in [9], Mok proved a metric rigidity theorem which asserts that any Hermitian metric of seminegative holomorphic bisectional curvature on a compact quotient of an irreducible bounded symmetric domain of rank≥ 2 is necessarily a constant multiple of the canonical metric. This theorem together with the theorem of Siu yields a generalization of a special case of Mostow's rigidity theorem[14]. This thesis is an exposition of Mok's results. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Li, Ka Fai. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 102-104). / Abstracts also in Chinese. / Chapter 1 --- Introduction --- p.1 / Chapter 2 --- Symmetric Space --- p.5 / Chapter 2.1 --- Riemannian Symmetric Spaces --- p.5 / Chapter 2.2 --- Lie Groups and Lie Algebras --- p.10 / Chapter 2.3 --- Riemannian Symmetric Spaces of Compact and Non-compact type --- p.11 / Chapter 2.4 --- Hermitian Symmetric Spaces --- p.16 / Chapter 2.5 --- Duality --- p.19 / Chapter 3 --- Some Embedding Theorems --- p.22 / Chapter 3.1 --- The Borel Embedding Theorem --- p.22 / Chapter 3.2 --- Root Space Decomposition and Root System --- p.24 / Chapter 3.3 --- The Polydisc Theorem --- p.28 / Chapter 3.4 --- The Harish-Chandra Embedding Theorem --- p.36 / Chapter 4 --- Bounded Symmetric Domains --- p.42 / Chapter 4.1 --- Classical Bounded Symmetric Domains --- p.42 / Chapter 4.2 --- The Bergman metric --- p.57 / Chapter 5 --- Projective and Characteristic Bundle --- p.65 / Chapter 5.1 --- Projectivization of Hermitian Vector Bundle --- p.65 / Chapter 5.2 --- Characteristic bundle --- p.69 / Chapter 6 --- The Hermitian Metric Rigidity Theorem --- p.83 / Chapter 7 --- Appendix --- p.100 / Bibliography --- p.102

A uniform description of Riemannian symmetric spaces as Grassmannians using magic square. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection

January 2007 (has links)
In this thesis we introduce and study the (i) Grassmannian, (ii) Lagrangian Grassmannian, and (iii) double Lagrangian Grassmannian of subspaces in ( A ⊗ B )n, where A and B are normed division algebras, i.e. R,C,H or O . / This gives a simple and uniform description of all symmetric spaces. This is analogous to Tits magic square description for simple Lie algebras. / We show that every irreducible compact Riemannian symmetric space X must be one of these Grassmannian spaces (up to a finite cover) or a compact simple Lie group. Furthermore, its noncompact dual symmetric space is the open sub-manifold of X consisting of spacelike linear subspaces, at least in the classical cases. / Huang, Yongdong. / "July 2007." / Adviser: Naichung Conan Leung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-01, Section: B, page: 0353. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2007. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 64-65). / Electronic reproduction.

Poisson Structures on U/K and Applications

Caine, John Arlo January 2007 (has links)
Let X be a simply connected compact Riemannian symmetric space, let U be the universal covering group of the identity component of the isometry group of X, and let g denote the complexification of the Lie algebra of U, g=u^C. Each u-compatible triangular decomposition g= n_- + h + n_+ determines a Poisson Lie group structure pi_U on U. The Evens-Lu construction produces a (U, pi_U)-homogeneous Poisson structure on X. By choosing the basepoint in X appropriately, X is presented as U/K where K is the fixed point set of an involution which stabilizes the triangular decomposition of g. With this presentation, a connection is established between the symplectic foliation of the Evens-Lu Poisson structure and the Birkhoff decomposition of U/K. This is done through reinterpretation of results of Pickrell. Each symplectic leaf admits a natural torus action. It is shown that these actions are Hamiltonian and the momentum maps are computed using triangular factorization. Finally, local formulas for the Evens-Lu Poisson structure are displayed in several examples.

Realistic charged stellar models

Komathiraj, Kalikkuddy. January 2007 (has links)
In this thesis we seek exact solutions to the isotropic Einstien-Maxwell system that model the interior of relativistic stars. The field equations are transformed to a simpler form using the transformation of Durgapal and Bannerji (1983); the integration of the system is reduced to solving the condition of pressure isotropy. This condition is a recurrence relation with variable rational coe±cients which can be solved in general. New classes of solutions of linearly independent functions are obtained in terms of special functions and elementary functions for different spatial geometries. Our results contain models found previously including the superdense Tikekar (1990) neutron star model, the uncharged isotropic Maharaj and Leach (1996) solutions, the Finch and Skea (1989) model and the Durgapal and Bannerji (1983) superdense neutron star. Our general class of solutions also contain charged relativistic spheres found previously, including the model of Hansraj and Maharaj (2006) and the model of Thirukkanesh and Maharaj (2006). In addition, two exact analytical solutions describing the interior of a charged strange quark star are obtained by applying the MIT bag equation of state. We regain the Mak and Harko (2004) solution for a charged quark star as a special case. / Thesis (Ph. D.) University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2007.
