AbstractIt is well-known that all geodesics on a Riemannian symmetric space of rank one are congruent each other under the action of isometry group. Being concerned with circles, we also know that two closed circles in a real space form are congruent if and only if they have the same length. In this paper we study how prime periods of circles on a complex hyperbolic space are distributed on a real line and show that even if two circles have the same length and the same geodesic curvature they are not necessarily congruent each other.

Ever since S. Helgason [4] showed that any eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the unit disk is represented by the Poisson integral of a hyperfunction on the unit circle, much interest has been arisen to the study of the Poisson integral representation of joint eigenfunctions of all invariant differential operators on a symmetric space X. In particular, his original idea of expanding eigenfunctions into K-finite functions has proved to be generalizable up to the case where X is a Riemannian symmetric space of rank one (cf. [4], [5], [11]). Presently, extension to arbitrary rank has been completed by quite a different formalism which views the present problem as a boundary-value problem for the differential equations. It should be recalled that along this line of approach a general theory of the systems of differential equations with regular singularities was successfully established by Kashiwara-Oshima (cf. [6], [7]).

Let (, g) be the standard Euclidean space or a Riemannian symmetric space of non-compact type of rank one. Let G be the identity component of the Lie group of all isometries of (, g). Let Γ be a discrete subgroup of G acting fixed point freely on whose quotient manifold MΓ is compact.

In the present paper we give a rough classification of exterior differential forms on a Riemannian manifold. We define conformal Killing, closed conformal Killing, coclosed conformal Killing and harmonic forms due to this classification and consider these forms on a Riemannian globally symmetric space and, in particular, on a rank-one Riemannian symmetric space. We prove vanishing theorems for conformal Killing L 2-forms on a Riemannian globally symmetric space of noncompact type. Namely, we prove that every closed or co-closed conformal Killing L 2-form is a parallel form on an arbitrary such manifold. If the volume of it is infinite, then every closed or co-closed conformal Killing L 2-form is identically zero. In addition, we prove vanishing theorems for harmonic forms on some Riemannian globally symmetric spaces of compact type. Namely, we prove that all harmonic one-formsvanish everywhere and every harmonic r -form  r  2 is parallel on an arbitrary such manifold. Our proofs are based on the Bochnertechnique and its generalized version that are most elegant and important analytical methods in differential geometry “in the large”.

AbstractA compact Riemannian symmetric space admits a canonical complexification. This so called adapted complex manifold structure JA is defined on the tangent bundle. For compact rank-one symmetric spaces another complex structure JS is defined on the punctured tangent bundle. This latter is used to quantize the geodesic flow for such manifolds. We show that the limit of the push forward of JA under an appropriate family of diffeomorphisms exists and agrees with JS.

AbstractWe introduce an Anosov action on the bundle of Weyl chambers of a riemannian symmetric space of non-compact type, which for rank one spaces coincides with the geodesic flow.

A Riemannian manifold $M$ has higher hyperbolic rank if every geodesic has a perpendicular Jacobi field making sectional curvature $-1$ with the geodesic. If, in addition, the sectional curvatures of $M$ lie in the interval $[-1,-\frac{1}{4}]$ and $M$ is closed, we show that $M$ is a locally symmetric space of rank one. This partially extends work by Constantine using completely different methods. It is also a partial counterpart to Hamenstädt’s hyperbolic rank rigidity result for sectional curvatures $\leq -1$, and complements well-known results on Euclidean and spherical rank rigidity.
