抽象。让 $伽玛 {X} $是算术商的Borel-Serre紧集 $伽玛 一个非紧型对称空间的空间。我们建造天然的瓷砖 $伽玛 ackslash overline{X} = coprod _P Gamma ackslash覆盖{X}_P $(取决于参数B),其推广了 $伽玛 我是X $。这是适用于产生一个自然的分段分析变形收缩, $伽玛 将{X} $上划线到带角的紧致子流形上 $伽玛 ackslash X _0子集Gamma 我是X $。事实上,我们证明了 $伽玛 ackslash X _0 $是(在自然分段解析同态下) $伽玛 内部的ackslash上划线{X} $ $伽玛 我是X $。为了应用于调和映射和几何刚性理论,我们证明了除了少数低秩的例子外,这种收缩和复同态具有有限的能量。我们还使用平铺给出了一个明确的描述,一个共尾家庭的邻里面, $伽玛 ackslash overline{X} $,并研究了镶嵌对参数B的依赖性以及镶嵌的退化。
Abstract. Let $ Gamma ackslash overline{X} $ be the Borel-Serre compactifiction of an arithmetic quotient $ Gamma ackslash X $ of a symmetric space of noncompact type. We construct natural tilings $ Gamma ackslash overline{X} = coprod _P Gamma ackslash overline{X}_P $ (depending on a parameter b) which generalize the Arthur-Langlands partition of $ Gamma ackslash X $. This is applied to yield a natural piecewise analytic deformation retraction of $ Gamma ackslash overline{X} $ onto a compact submanifold with corners $ Gamma ackslash X _0 subset Gamma ackslash X $. In fact, we prove that $ Gamma ackslash X _0 $ is a realization (under a natural piecewise analytic diffeomorphism) of $ Gamma ackslash overline{X} $ inside the interior $ Gamma ackslash X $. For application to the theory of harmonic maps and geometric rigidity, we prove this retraction and diffeomorphism have finite energy except for a few low ranks examples. We also use tilings to give an explicit description of a cofinal family of neighborhoods of a face of $ Gamma ackslash overline{X} $, and study the dependance of tilings on the parameter b and the degeneration of tilings.
