Characterizing the unit ball by its projective automorphism group

Andrew M Zimmer

Geometry & Topology 20 (2016) 2397–2432
Abstract

In this paper we study the projective automorphism group of domains in real, complex, and quaternionic projective space and present two new characterizations of the unit ball in terms of the size of the automorphism group and the regularity of the boundary.
