Abstract/Media

This talk concerns the geometric classification of smooth, locally free, codimension-one actions of higher-rank simple Lie groups G on closed manifolds. If G is split and not locally isomorphic to SL(3,R), we prove that every such action is an equivariant fiber bundle over a homogeneous space of G; in fact, it is the simplest such bundle, namely, it is induced by an action of a lattice or a parabolic subgroup of G.



When G is locally isomorphic to SL(3,R), we obtain the same result under the existence of a P-mixing probability measure, where P is a minimal parabolic subgroup of G.



This result is in the spirit of the Zimmer program.
