Abstract: | LetX be a Riemannian symmetric space of noncompact type and rank 2 and let be a non-uniform, irreducible lattice. On the locally symmetric quotientV= /X we construct an exhaustion functionh:V 0, ) whose sublevel sets {h s} are compact submanifolds ofV with corners. The top dimensional boundary faces of {h s} are parts of certain horospheres that join together at the corners. It can be shown that actually {h s} is a submanifold with corners isomorphic to the Borel-Serre compactification ofV.Oblatum 2-VIII-1993 & 19-XII-1994 |
