Locally Symmetric Space

In this paper we state and prove a characteristic relation which exists, between the eigenspaces of the Ricci transformation $R(N, - )N$ acting on the orthocomplement space of $N$ in $T_mM$ where $m \in M$, $M$ being a locally symmetric space, and the Weingarten map $S_N$ of small enough geodesic tubes of $M$.

Positively Curved

AbstractThe squared distance curvature is a kind of two-point curvature the sign of which turned out to be crucial for the smoothness of optimal transportation maps on Riemannian manifolds. Positivity properties of that new curvature have been established recently for all the simply connected compact rank one symmetric spaces, except the Cayley plane. Direct proofs were given for the sphere, and an indirect one (via the Hopf fibrations) for the complex and quaternionic projective spaces. Here, we present a direct proof of a property implying all the preceding ones, valid on every positively curved Riemannian locally symmetric space.

AbstractLet M be a rank 1 locally symmetric space of finite Riemannian volume. It is proved that the set of unit vectors on a non-constant C1 curve in the unit tangent sphere at a point p ∈ M for which the corresponding geodesic is bounded (relatively compact) in M, is a set of Hausdorff dimension 1.

AbstractGiven a measureon a locally symmetric spaceobtained as a weak-* limit of probability measures associated with eigenfunctions of the ring of invariant differential operators, we construct a measureon the homogeneous spaceX= Γ\Gthat liftsand is invariant by a connected subgroupA1⊂Aof positive dimension, whereG=NAKis an Iwasawa decomposition. If the functions are, in addition, eigenfunctions of the Hecke operators, thenis also the limit of measures associated with Hecke eigenfunctions on X. This generalizes results of the author with A.Venkatesh in the case where the spectral parameters stay away from the walls of the Weyl chamber.

Locally Symmetric Space

In this paper we continue our effort [11], [12], [13], [14] to interpret geometrically the harmonic forms on certain locally symmetric spaces constructed by using the theta correspondence. The point of this paper is to prove an integral formula, Theorem 2.1, which will allow us to generalize the results obtained in the above papers to the finite volume case (the previous papers treated only the compact case). We then apply our integral formula to certain finite volume quotients of symmetric spaces of orthogonal groups. The main result obtained is Theorem 4.2 which is described below. We let (,) denote the bilinear form associated to a quadratic form with integer coefficients of signature (p, q). We assume that the fundamental group Γ ⊂ SO(p, q) of our locally symmetric space is the subgroup of the integral isometries of (,) congruent to the identity matrix modulo some integer N. We assume that N is chosen large enough so that Γ is neat (the multiplicative subgroup of C* generated by the eigenvalues of the elements of Γ has no torsion), Borel [2], 17.1 and that every element in Γ has spinor norm 1, Millson-Raghunathan [15], Proposition 4.1. These conditions are needed to ensure that our cycles Cx (see below) are orientable. The methods we will use apply also to unitary and quaternion unitary locally symmetric spaces, see [13].

Special Case

Abstract Let $G/K$ be an irreducible symmetric space, where G is a noncompact, connected Lie group and K is a compact, connected subgroup. We use decay properties of the spherical functions to show that the convolution product of any $r=r(G/K)$ continuous orbital measures has its density function in $L^{2}(G)$ and hence is an absolutely continuous measure with respect to the Haar measure. The number r is approximately the rank of $G/K$ . For the special case of the orbital measures, $\nu _{a_{i}}$ , supported on the double cosets $Ka_{i}K$ , where $a_{i}$ belongs to the dense set of regular elements, we prove the sharp result that $\nu _{a_{1}}\ast \nu _{a_{2}}\in L^{2},$ except for the symmetric space of Cartan class $AI$ when the convolution of three orbital measures is needed (even though $\nu _{a_{1}}\ast \nu _{a_{2}}$ is absolutely continuous).
