Geometric structures on a manifold M arise from a covering of M by charts with values in a homogeneous space G/H, with chart transitions restrictions of elements of G. If M is aspherical, then such geometric structures are given by a homomorphism of the fundamental group of M into G. Rigidity of such structures means that the conjugacy class of the homomorphism can be reconstructed from topological or geometric information on M. We give an overview of such rigidity results, focusing on topological type and length functions.
期刊介绍:
Geometriae Dedicata concentrates on geometry and its relationship to topology, group theory and the theory of dynamical systems.
Geometriae Dedicata aims to be a vehicle for excellent publications in geometry and related areas. Features of the journal will include:
A fast turn-around time for articles.
Special issues centered on specific topics.
All submitted papers should include some explanation of the context of the main results.
Geometriae Dedicata was founded in 1972 on the initiative of Hans Freudenthal in Utrecht, the Netherlands, who viewed geometry as a method rather than as a field. The present Board of Editors tries to continue in this spirit. The steady growth of the journal since its foundation is witness to the validity of the founder''s vision and to the success of the Editors'' mission.
