AbstractWe prove that in any compact symmetric space, G/K, there is a dense set of a1,a2∈G such that if μj=mK*δaj*mk is the K-bi-invariant measure supported on KajK, then μ1*μ2 is absolutely continuous with respect to Haar measure on G. Moreover, the product of double cosets, Ka1Ka2K, has nonempty interior in G.

Multiplicative Structures

Let G be a simply connected, semi-simple, compact Lie group, let K* denote Z/2-graded, representable K-theory, and K* the corresponding homology theory. The K-theory of G and of its classifying space BG are well known, (8),(1). In contrast with ordinary cohomology, K*(G) and K*(BG) are torsion-free and have simple multiplicative structures. If ΩG denotes the space of loops on G, it seems natural to conjecture that K*(ΩG) should have, in some sense, a more simple structure than H*(ΩG).

Positively Curved

Abstract A Riemannian manifold is said to be almost positively curved if the set of points for which all two-planes have positive sectional curvature is open and dense. We show that the Grassmannian of oriented two-planes in $\mathbb{R}^{7}$ admits a metric of almost positive curvature, giving the first example of an almost positively curved metric on an irreducible compact symmetric space of rank greater than 1. The construction and verification rely on the Lie group $\mathbf{G}_{2}$ and the octonions, so do not obviously generalize to any other Grassmannians.

Minimal Embedding

W.Y. Hsiang, W.T. Hsiang and P. Tomter conjectured that every simply-connected, compact symmetric space of dimension ≥4 must contain some minimal hypersurfaces of sphere type. With the aid of equivariant differential geometry, they showed that this is in fact the case for many symmetric spaces of rank one and two. Let M be one of the symmetric spaces: Sn(1)×Sn(1)(n≥4), SU(6)/Sp(3), E6/F4, ℍP2 (quaternionic proj. plane) or CaP2 (Cayley proj. plane). We prove the existence of infmitely many immersed, minimal hypersurfaces of sphere type in M which are invariant under a certain group G of isometries of M. Following Hsiang and the others, the equivariant method is also used here to reduce the problem to an investigation of geodesics in M/G equipped with a metric (with singularities) depending only on the orbital geometry of the transformation group (G, M). However, our constructions are based on area minimizing homogeneous cones, corresponding to a corner singularity of M/G with the local geometry of nodal type; this can be viewed as a variation of some of their constructions which depended on some unstable minimal cones of focal type. We further apply the equivariant method to construct a minimal embedding of S1×Sn−1×Sn−1 into Sn(1)×Sn(1)(n≥2) and a minimal, embedded hypersurface of sphere type in [Formula: see text], ℍPn×ℍPn (n≥2) and CaP2×CaP2.

Dimensional Lebesgue Measure

For $\beta>1$, consider the $\beta$-transformation $T_\beta$. When $\beta$ is an integer, the natural extension of $T_\beta$ can be represented explicitly as a map on the unit square with an invariant measure: the corresponding two-dimensional Lebesgue measure. We show that, under certain conditions on $\beta$, the natural extension is defined on a simply connected region and an invariant measure is a constant multiple of the Lebesgue measure.We characterize those $\beta$ in terms of the $\beta$-expansion of one, and study the structure and size of the set of all such $\beta$.

Improved Outcome

In this note, we use the pairing induced by the interchange map in conjunction with the strongly homotopy commutative algebra structure to define products on the Eilenberg–Moore differential Tor and give a simplified proof of an improved outcome of Jones’s result due to Ndombol and Thomas. As a result, we establish an isomorphism of graded algebras between the Hochschild homology and the free loop space cohomology of a simply connected topological space.
