On the rigidity of noncompact quotients of bounded symmetric domains (Q1106372)

The following theorem is the main result of the paper. Let X be a complex manifold whose universal covering space is biholomorphic to an irreducible bounded symmetric domain and let \(\Theta\) denote the sheaf of germs of holomorphic tangent vectors of X. If the covering transformation group of that covering is arithmetic in the sense of Borel, then \(H^ 1(X,\Theta)=0\) except for the case when the universal covering is of one of the following types: \((I)_{m,m'}\), \(m+m'<4,\) \((I)_{2,3}\), \((I)_{3,2}\), \((II)_{3,2}\), \((II)_ m\), \(m<4\), \((III)_ m\), \(m<3\) or \((IV)_ m\), \(m<4\).
