Minimal codimension one foliation of a symmetric space by Damek-Ricci spaces (1904.07288v1)

Published 15 Apr 2019 in math.DG

Abstract: In this article we consider solvable hypersurfaces of the form $N \exp(\R H)$ with induced metrics in the symmetric space $M = SL(3,\C)/SU(3)$, where $H$ a suitable unit length vector in the subgroup $A$ of the Iwasawa decomposition $SL(3,\C) = NAK$. Since $M$ is rank $2$, $A$ is $2$-dimensional and we can parametrize these hypersurfaces via an angle $\alpha \in [0,\pi/2]$ determining the direction of $H$. We show that one of the hypersurfaces (corresponding to $\alpha = 0$) is minimally embedded and isometric to the non-symmetric $7$-dimensional Damek-Ricci space. We also provide an explicit formula for the Ricci curvature of these hypersurfaces and show that all hypersurfaces for $\alpha \in (0,\frac{\pi}{2}]$ admit planes of both negative and positive sectional curvature. Moreover, the symmetric space $M$ admits a minimal foliation with all leaves isometric to the non-symmetric $7$-dimensional Damek-Ricci space.
