Anti De Sitter As Homogeneous and Symmetric Space

In the same way that the sphere, anti de Sitter with parity aka reflectional symmetry and time reversal symmetry can be seen as a quotient of two groups whereas AdS without P or C can be seen as

This quotient formulation gives to a homogeneous space structure. The Lie algebra of is given by matrices

$\mathcal{H}= \begin{pmatrix} \begin{matrix} 0&0\\ 0&0 \end{matrix} & \begin{pmatrix} \cdots 0\cdots\\ \leftarrow v^t\rightarrow \end{pmatrix}\\ \begin{pmatrix} \vdots & \uparrow\\ 0 & v \\ \vdots & \downarrow \end{pmatrix} & B \end{pmatrix}$ ,

where is a skew-symmetric matrix. A complementary in the Lie algebra of is

$\mathcal{Q}= \begin{pmatrix} \begin{matrix} 0&a\\ -a&0 \end{matrix} & \begin{pmatrix} \leftarrow w^t\rightarrow \\ \cdots 0\cdots\\ \end{pmatrix}\\ \begin{pmatrix} \uparrow & \vdots\\ w & 0\\ \downarrow & \vdots \end{pmatrix} & 0 \end{pmatrix}.$

These two fulfil . Then explicit matrix computation shows that . So anti de Sitter is a reductive homogeneous space, and a non-Riemannian symmetric space.

Famous quotes containing the words homogeneous and/or space:

“If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green.... If we in America have reached that point in our desperate culture when we must murder children, no matter for what reason or what color, we don’t deserve to survive, and probably won’t.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)

“... the space left to freedom is very small. ... ends are inherent in human nature and the same for all.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
