Complex quadric as a symmetric space

It is known that a smooth complex quadric is a symmetric space. For example, it is $$\operatorname{Spin}(n+2)/G$$ where $G$ is the maximal parabolic subgroup. I want a reference for more details and ...

General fiber and the symmetric product of an ample hypersurface

Let $Sym^m(X)$ be the $m$th symmetric product of a smooth projective variety $X$, $n=\dim(X)$, $Y_1$ an ample hypersurface of $X$, and $CH_0(X)_{hom}$ the Chow groups of $0$-cycles of degree $0$....

Automorphism group of Hermitian symmetric spaces

For a hermitian symmetric space $M$ one has its group of biholomorphic maps $\operatorname{Hol}(M)$ and its group of Riemannian isometries $\operatorname{Isom}(M)$. According to Prop. 1.6 of Milne - ...

Bounded non-symmetric domains covering a compact manifold

This question is somewhat related to this other question of mine. I was wondering which are the known examples of bounded domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^n$ admitting a compact free quotient. By a ...

Isotropy symmetric holomorphic functions

Let $G$ be a bounded homogeneous domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ and let $z\in G$. Assume that $f$ is a holomorphic function on $G$, which is isotropy symmetric, i.e. $f\circ \varphi=f$ for any ...

Two questions on homogeneous domains

Let $G$ be a domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ and let $Aut(G)$ be the group of biholomorphic selfmaps of $G$. $G$ is called: (1) homogeneous if $Aut(G)$ acts transitively on $G$, i.e. for any $z,w\in G$ ...

Are harmonic maps quasiconformal at the boundary of hyperbolic spaces?

Let $M$ be a hyperbolic $3$-manifold and $X$ a negatively curved, simply connected space with geometric boundary $\partial X$. If $\rho:\pi_1M\rightarrow Isom(X)$ does not fix a point in $\partial X$,...

Is the Baily--Borel compactification functorial?

The following question seems pretty natural, but searching online and looking in some obvious places didn't turn up much, so maybe I can ask it here. (Disclaimer: I'm a newcomer to this topic, so ...

Hermitian symmetric spaces vs Hermitian homogeneous spaces

A Hermitian symmetric space is a connected complex manifold with a hermitian metric on which the group of holomorphic isometries acts transitively, and which satisfies the following extra condition: ...
