A non-metric rigidity theorem for locally symmetric Hermitian manifolds (Q5943648)

Let \(X\) be an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of non-compact type of dimension greater than 1, and \(G\) be the group of biholomorphisms of \(X\); let \(M=L\setminus X\) be a quotient of \(X\) by a torsion-free discrete subgroup \(L\) of \(G\) such that \(M\) has finite volume with respect to the canonical metric. Then, the locally symmetric structure of \(M\) can be considered as a special kind of a \((G_\mathbb{C},X_\mathbb{C})\)-structure on \(M\) \((X_\mathbb{C}=\) the compact dual of \(X)\). By Mostow's rigidity theorem, the locally symmetric structure of \(M\) is unique. The author proves that the \((G_\mathbb{C}, X_\mathbb{C}\))-structure of \(M\) is the unique one compatible with its complex structure. In the case of rank 1, this fact was proved by \textit{N. Mok} and \textit{S. K. Yeung} [Complex Analysis and Geometry, Plenum Press, 253-270 (1993; Zbl 0793.32011)].
