Abstract Let ℳ 0 n {\mathcal{M}_{0}^{n}} be the class of closed, simply connected, non-negatively curved Riemannian n-manifolds admitting an isometric, effective, isotropy-maximal torus action. We prove that if M ∈ ℳ 0 n {M\in\mathcal{M}_{0}^{n}} , then M is equivariantly diffeomorphic to the free, linear quotient by a torus of a product of spheres of dimensions greater than or equal to 3. As a special case, we then prove the Maximal Symmetry Rank Conjecture for all M ∈ ℳ 0 n {M\in\mathcal{M}_{0}^{n}} . Finally, we show the Maximal Symmetry Rank Conjecture for simply connected, non-negatively curved manifolds holds for dimensions less than or equal to 9 without additional assumptions on the torus action.

We derive an explicit formula for the singular part of the fundamental matrix of crystal optics. It consists of a singularity remaining fixed at the origin x =0, of delta terms located on the positively curved parts of the wave surface, the well-known Fresnel surface and of a Cauchy principal value distribution on the negatively curved part of the wave surface.

AbstractIn this paper we give an explicit formula for the flag curvature of homogeneous Randers spaces of Douglas type and apply this formula to obtain some interesting results. We first deduce an explicit formula for the flag curvature of an arbitrary left invariant Randersmetric on a two-step nilpotent Lie group. Then we obtain a classification of negatively curved homogeneous Randers spaces of Douglas type. This results, in particular, in many examples of homogeneous non-Riemannian Finsler spaces with negative flag curvature. Finally, we prove a rigidity result that a homogeneous Randers space of Berwald type whose flag curvature is everywhere nonzero must be Riemannian.

AbstractLet $G$ be a real algebraic semi-simple Lie group and $\Gamma $ be the fundamental group of a closed negatively curved manifold. In this article we study the limit cone, introduced by Benoist [Propriétés asymptotiques des groupes linéaires. Geom. Funct. Anal. 7(1) (1997), 1–47], and the growth indicator function, introduced by Quint [Divergence exponentielle des sous-groupes discrets en rang supérieur. Comment. Math. Helv. 77 (2002), 503–608], for a class of representations $\rho : \Gamma \rightarrow G$ admitting an equivariant map from $\partial \Gamma $ to the Furstenberg boundary of the symmetric space of $G, $ together with a transversality condition. We then study how these objects vary with the representation.
