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 ...

There is any relation between semisimple lie algebras and symmetric cones? I'm saying this because the classification of the euclidean Jordan algebras, dual by Koecher-Vinberg theorem to homogeneous ...

Indecomposable symmetric cones fall into five classes. The automorphism group of any symmetric cone $C$ is a real Lie group $Aut(C)$. What is the associated class of Lie groups $Aut(C)$ for each of ...
