Jacobian of the action of a matrix on a Grassmannian

I'm looking for a reference concerning a calculation found in Furstenberg's 1963 paper "Non-commuting random products". Lemma 8.8 of this paper states that if one takes a $d\times d$ invertible real ...

The Lefschetz operator

Let $\omega=\sum_{i=1}^n dx_i\wedge dy_i\in\bigwedge^2(\mathbb{R}^{2n})^*$ be a standard symplectic form. The following result is due to Lefschetz: For $k\leq n$, the Lefschetz operator $L^{n-k}:\...

A trivialization of an almost complex structure

Recently, I have been studying the Carleman Similiarity Principle, which is used to study the regularity and unique continuation of J-holomorphic curves. Roughly, one takes a solution $ u $ of a ...

Riemannian metric of hyperbolic plane

I'm fishing for the origin of the idea to consider "trace scalar product" on the space of ($G$-)orthogonal projectors as means of defining a Riemannian metric on some subset of lines in a vector space....

Calculating a curvature tensor by polarization

I'm reading some articles by Siu and Nannicini on the Weil-Petersson metric associated to families of compact Kahler-Einstein manifolds. In each article Siu and Nannicini construct a Weil-Petersson ...
