The method of proof is a combination of geometric method and algebraic computation toward Schur multipliers. The principal difference with previous work that used similar methods is the very general nature of our proofs. It is also the first time that partially hyperbolic twisted symmetric space examples have been treated from literature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-03T17:09:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "higher rank homogeneous abelian actions", "geometric method", "local rigidity", "complete solution", "twisted symmetric space examples" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151000848V" } } }
