Spheres in Hermitian Symmetric Spaces and Flag Manifolds

This paper contains a proof of the following property of compact irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces. If H=G/K where G is a compact simply connected simple Lie group, T a maximal torus of G and F(T,H)=|E ₁,...,E _m is the fixed point set of T on H, then for each pair E _i , E _j there is a 2-dimentional sphere N _ij H such that E _i and E _j are antipodal points of N _ij.

Invariant Differential Operators on Symmetric Cones and Hermitian Symmetric Spaces

We give a brief survey on the study of constructions of invariant differential operators on Riemannian symmetric spaces and of combinatorial and analytical properties of their eigenvalues, and pose some open questions.     

Schroedinger Flows on Compact Hermitian Symmetric Spaces and Related Problems

In this note,we prove that the Schroedinger flow of maps from a closed riemann surface into a compact irreducible Hermitian symmetic space admits a global weak solution.Also,we show the existence of weak solutions to the initial value problem of Heisenberg model with Lie algebra values,which is closely related to the Schroedinger flow on compact Hermitian symmetric spaces.     

A Higgs bundle on a Hermitian symmetric space

Let \(M := \Gamma\backslash G/K\) be the quotient of an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space G/K by a torsionfree cocompact lattice \(\Gamma\subset G\) . There is a natural flat principal G-bundle over the compact Kähler manifold M which is constructed from the principal Γ-bundle over M defined by the quotient map \(G/K\longrightarrow M\) . We construct the principal G-Higgs bundle over M corresponding to this flat G-bundle. This principal G-Higgs bundle is rigid if \({\rm dim}_\mathbb{C} M\,\geq\,2\) .     

Symmetric Hermitian decomposability criterion,decomposition, and its applications

The Hermitian tensor is an extension of Hermitian matrices and plays an important role in quantum information research. It is known that every symmetric tensor has a symmetric CP-decomposition. However, symmetric Hermitian tensor is not the case. In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for symmetric Hermitian decomposability of symmetric Hermitian tensors. When a symmetric Hermitian decomposable tensor space is regarded as a linear space over the real number field, we also obtain its dimension formula and basis. Moreover, if the tensor is symmetric Hermitian decomposable, then the symmetric Hermitian decomposition can be obtained by using the symmetric Hermitian basis. In the application of quantum information, the symmetric Hermitian decomposability condition can be used to determine the symmetry separability of symmetric quantum mixed states.

Nonexistence of Proper Holomorphic Maps Between Certain Classical Bounded Symmetric Domains

The author,motivated by his results on Hermitian metric rigidity,conjectured in [4] that a proper holomorphic mapping f：Ω→Ω′from an irreducible bounded symmetric domainΩof rank≥2 into a bounded symmetric domainΩ′is necessarily totally geodesic provided that r′：=rank（Ω′）≤rank（Ω）：=r.The Conjecture was resolved in the affirmative by I.-H.Tsai [8].When the hypothesis r′≤r is removed,the structure of proper holomorphic maps f：Ω→Ω′is far from being understood,and the complexity in studying such maps depends very much on the difference r′-r,which is called the rank defect.The only known nontrivial non-equidimensional structure theorems on proper holomorphic maps are due to Z.-H.Tu [10],in which a rigidity theorem was proven for certain pairs of classical domains of type I,which implies nonexistence theorems for other pairs of such domains.For both results the rank defect is equal to 1,and a generaliza- tion of the rigidity result to cases of higher rank defects along the line of arguments of [10] has so far been inaccessible. In this article, the author produces nonexistence results for infinite series of pairs of （Ω→Ω′） of irreducible bounded symmetric domains of type I in which the rank defect is an arbitrarily prescribed positive integer. Such nonexistence results are obtained by exploiting the geometry of characteristic symmetric subspaces as introduced by N. Mok and L-H Tsai [6] and more generally invariantly geodesic subspaces as formalized in [8]. Our nonexistence results motivate the formulation of questions on proper holomorphic maps in the non-equirank case.

Curvature vs. Almost Hermitian Structures

A Bochner-type formula for almost Hermitian manifolds is introduced. From this formula, one can find obstructions imposed by the curvature to the existence of certain almost Hermitian structures on compact manifolds.     

Space of Hermitian Triples and Ashtekar–Isham Quantization

We generalize the Ashtekar–Isham construction for quantizing gauge fields to the case where the configuration variables belong to the space of Hermitian triples, not Hermitian connections.

Representations of complex hyperbolic lattices into rank 2 classical Lie groups of Hermitian type

Let Г be a torsion-free uniform lattice of SU(m, 1), m > 1. Let G be either SU(p, 2) with p ≥ 2, ${{\rm Sp}(2,\mathbb {R})}Let Г be a torsion-free uniform lattice of SU(m, 1), m > 1. Let G be either SU(p, 2) with p ≥ 2, or SO(p, 2) with p ≥ 3. The symmetric spaces associated to these G’s are the classical bounded symmetric domains of rank 2, with the exceptions of SO*(8)/U(4) and SO*(10)/U(5). Using the correspondence between representations of fundamental groups of K?hler manifolds and Higgs bundles we study representations of the lattice Г into G. We prove that the Toledo invariant associated to such a representation satisfies a Milnor-Wood type inequality and that in case of equality necessarily G = SU(p, 2) with p ≥ 2m and the representation is reductive, faithful, discrete, and stabilizes a copy of complex hyperbolic space (of maximal possible induced holomorphic sectional curvature) holomorphically and totally geodesically embedded in the Hermitian symmetric space SU(p, 2)/S(U(p) × U(2)), on which it acts cocompactly.     

Restrictions of Symmetric Invariants of a Complex Semisimple Lie Algebra and Some Applications

Let 𝔤 be a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra and σ an arbitrary semisimple automorphism of 𝔤. Let 𝔱 be a Cartan subalgebra of 𝔨 = 𝔤^σ and 𝔥 =Z _𝔤(𝔱) be the centralizer of 𝔱 in 𝔤. Then 𝔥 is a σ-invariant Cartan subalgebra of 𝔤 and 𝔱 = 𝔥^σ. Let W(𝔤, 𝔥) be the Weyl group. One knows that Δ(𝔤, 𝔱), the set of roots of 𝔤 in 𝔱, is also a root system. It is proved that the corresponding Weyl group W(𝔤, 𝔱) is isomorphic to W(𝔤, 𝔥)^σ, which is the subgroup of W(𝔤, 𝔥) consisting of those elements commuting with σ. It is also shown that the image of the restriction map S(𝔥*) ^{W(𝔤, 𝔥)} → S(𝔱*) ^{W(𝔨, 𝔱)}, where S(𝔥*) and S(𝔱*) are the polynomial algebras on 𝔥 and 𝔱, respectively, is exactly S(𝔱*) ^{W(𝔤, 𝔱)}. Based on the above result, we also get a complete classification of the pairs (𝔤, σ) such that 𝔤^σ is noncohomologous to zero in 𝔤.

Hermitian Metric Rigidity for Foliated Vector Bundles

We show that the canonical isometric imbedding of the symplectic group Sp(n) into R⁴n² gives the least-dimensional isometric imbedding into the Euclidean space, even in the local standpoint. We prove this result by calculating the quantity p_G determined by the curvature of Sp(n), which serves as an obstruction to the existence of local isometric imbeddings. We also exhibit the estimates on the value p_G for the remaining compact classical simple Lie groups, and improve the previous results on the codimension of local isometric imbeddings of these groups.
