Download or read book Compact Quotients of Cahen-Wallach Spaces written by Ines Kath and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indecomposable symmetric Lorentzian manifolds of non-constant curvature are called Cahen-Wallach spaces. Their isometry classes are described by continuous families of real parameters. The authors derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of compact quotients of Cahen-Wallach spaces in terms of these parameters.
