Riemannian 3-symmetric spaces, their moduli, and Ricci solitons

Abstract: Riemannian 3-symmetric spaces are a natural generalization of the classical symmetric spaces of Cartan. Their classification has been open since the pioneering work of Gray-Wolf in the sixties which focused on the semisimple case. I will outline the full classification, stressing some of the more remarkable features including their rich moduli space structure. As a by-product, a very general construction of Ricci solitons is presented which is of independent interest.

Virtual seminar on geometry with symmetries

Series comments: Description: Research seminar in Lie group actions in Differential geometry.

The seminar meets every other Wednesday. To accommodate most time zones, the time rotates. The Zoom link is sent to the mailing list around 24 hours before each talk.
