The classification of real forms of simple irreducible pseudo-Hermitian symmetric spaces

摘要

The main purpose of this paper is to classify the real forms M of simple irreducible pseudo-Hermitian symmetric spaces G/R with G non-compact. That provides an extension of Jaffee's results (Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. '75; J. Differential Geom. '78), Leung's result (J. Differential Geom. '79) and Takeuchi's result (Tohoku Math. J. '84) concerning the classification of real forms of irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces of the non-compact type. Moreover, that enables us to classify the pairs of simple para-Hermitian symmetric Lie algebras and their para-holomorphic involutions, which includes Kaneyuki-Kozai's result (Tokyo J. Math. '85) of the classification of simple para-Hermitian symmetric Lie algebras.
