I start by stating what I think I understood on symmetric cones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_cone). Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a symmetric cone in a vector space $V$. There are Riemannian ...

This question arises when I tried to understand Chapter 2 of the celebrated book "Smooth compactification of locally symmetric varieties" by Ash–Mumford–Rapoport–Tai. The setting is as ...

Let me state my question in very loose terms to start, then give some details and restate it in more precise terms at the bottom. Question. Given a regular minimal cone $\mathbf{C}$, can one set up a ...

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold, $U \subset M$ an open set, $f : U \to M$ a $C^1$ diffeomorphism onto its image and $\Lambda \in U$ a hyperbolic set for $f$. Fix a sufficiently small $\gamma > 0$ ...

My question is as follows: It is known that a closed smooth curve in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is convex iff its (signed) curvature has a constant sign. I wonder if one can characterize smooth convex cones in $\...
