A local Lorentzian Ferrand-Obata theorem for conformal vector fields
Sorin Dumitrescu, Charles Frances, Karin Melnick +2
For a conformal vector field on a closed, real-analytic, Lorentzian manifold we prove that the flow is locally isometric -- that it preserves a metric in the conformal class on a n…
Arithmetic structure of generalized Inoue--Bombieri manifolds
Brice Flamencourt, Abdelghani Zeghib
A Generalized Inoue--Bombieri (GIB) manifold is a compact quotient of a connected Riemannian product by a discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{Sim}(\mat…
Locally conformally homogeneous Lorentzian spaces
Thomas Leistner, Lilia Mehidi, Abdelghani Zeghib
We study locally conformally homogeneous Lorentzian manifolds of dimension at least , admitting an essential pseudo-group of local conformal transformations. Generalizing a rece…
Isometries of spacetimes without observer horizons
Leonardo GarcÃa-Heveling, Abdelghani Zeghib
We study the isometry groups of (non-compact) Lorentzian manifolds with well-behaved causal structure, aka causal spacetimes satisfying the ``no observer horizons'' condition. Our…
On the Inoue-Bombieri construction
Brice Flamencourt, Abdelghani Zeghib
We study compact quotients of a Riemannian product , where is a complete Riemannian manifold, by discrete subgroups of $\mathrm{Sim}(\…
Pseudo-Conformal actions of semisimple Lie groups
Mehdi Belraouti, Mohamed Deffaf, Abdelghani Zeghib
We consider the pseudo-Riemannian Lichnerowicz conjecture in the homogeneous setting. In particular, we show that any compact connected pseudo-Riemannian manifold on which a se…
