Rigid geometric structures and representations of fundamental groups
The paper is motivated by the use of the geometry and dynamics of particular actions to study rigidity phenomena for lattices in Lie groups, particularly Margulis' superrigidity theorem and its generalization by Zimmer. The author discusses some recent advances relating geometry, topology and the dynamics of lattice actions in higher rank semisimple Lie groups and some slightly older results concerning actions of the Lie groups themselves. In the section about rigid structures, Killing fields and representations of fundamental groups he discusses the proof of Gromov's theorems. Further, he investigates some aspects of representations of the fundamental group and dynamics of the action and the construction of quotients of the action from representations of the fundamental group. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0987.00036].
