The Gromov's centralizer theorem for semisimple Lie group actions (Q1694995)

Gromov's centralizer theorem states that if a simple Lie group \(G\) acts on a compact manifold, preserving a finite measure and some rigid geometrical structure, then the universal cover of this manifold has a space of Killing vector fields (i.e. a Lie algebra of infinitesimal automorphisms), centralizing the action and generating orbits at least as large as those of the group \(G\). In this article a version of Gromov's centralizer theorem in the case of semisimple Lie groups (without compact factors and with finite center) actions and arbitrary rigid geometric structures of algebraic type is proved. A geometric structure is called algebraic if it is defined by an algebraic group and by a corresponding algebraic action. Also some results (in particular Gromov's representation theorem), which was proved for the case of simple Lie groups, are generalized here to the case of semisimple Lie groups (with the same hypotheses as above).
