On submanifolds in locally symmetric spaces of noncompact type

Abstract

Given a connected, compact, totally geodesic submanifold Y m of noncompact type inside a compact locally symmetric space of noncompact type Xn, we provide a sufficient condition that ensures that [Y m]0 Hm(Xn; ); in low dimensions, our condition is also necessary. We provide conditions under which there exist a tangential map of pairs from a finite cover (X̄,Y ̄) to the nonnegatively curved duals (Xu,Y u).
