Infinite dimensional symmetric spaces of Kac-Moody type
1.7.2006, 9:00 Uhr – 9:50 Uhr

Quotients of a Kac-Moody group by the fixed point set of an involution are in some sense the closest generalization of Riemannian symmetric spaces to infinite dimensions. These spaces carry a natural metric of Lorentz type but otherwise share many properties with their finite dimensional counter parts.
