De Rham product decomposition theorem in a particular setting
Let $G$ be a Lie group, and $H$ a Lie subgroup of $G$ such that $G/H\sim \mathcal M$ is a homogeneous space diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^n$, equipped with an invariant Riemannian metric $g$. If this ...

Holonomy of a triangle in an affine symmetric space
Let $G/H$ be an affine symmetric space with involution $\sigma$, and $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{m}\oplus \mathfrak{h}$ the Cartan decomposition of its Lie algebra. We can identify $G/H$ and $\exp(\...

Compact quaternionic Kahler manifolds of negative curvature: examples
There is a well known problem of LeBrun-Salamon:
are there any non-symmetric compact quaternionic-Kahler
manifolds of positive scalar (and Ricci) curvature?
It is hard and still unsolved:
Quaternionic-...

Algebraic characterization of the curvature operator of symmetric spaces
My question is the following :
Given an algebraic curvature operator $R\in S^2_B(\Lambda^2\mathbb{R}^n)$, is there an a simple criterion to know if this curvature operator can occur as the ...
