We know some nice space-time have a lot of symmetries. It is said that Minkowski spacetime has $$ISO(d-1,1)/SO(d-1,1),$$ de Sitter spacetime has $$SO(d,1)/SO(d-1,1)$$ and anti-de Sitter spacetime ...

For any sequence of integers $0<n_1<...<n_k$, there is a flag manifold of type $(n_1, ..., n_k)$, which is the collection of ordered sets of vector subspaces of $R^{(n_k)}$ $(V_1, ..., V_k)$ ...

Let $\Gamma$ be a nontrivial group of isometries of $\mathbb{S}^n$, $n \geq 2$, acting properly discontinuously. For $p \in \mathbb{S}^n$, define $$r(p) = \min_{g \in \Gamma \setminus\{e\} } d(p, g(p)...

Let $M,N$ be smooth Riemannian manifolds with boundary (In particular, we assume the boundaries are smooth). Suppose we have a map $\phi:M \to N$ which satisfies the following properties: $$(1) \, \,...

This question is a natural follow-up of this other question, asked earlier today by wspin. Let's say that a metric space $(X,d)$ has two poles if: there are two distinct points $x$, $y$ such that ...
