On the shape of fundamental domains in GL(n,R)O(n)

Douglas Martin Grenier

Vol. 160 (1993), No. 1, 53–66
Abstract

We investigate parameters for the symmetric space H = G∕K, G = GL(n,R), K = O(n), in the sense of positive definite quadratic forms. This leads to a description for the fundamental domain H∕Γ where Γ is an arithmetic subgroup of G. We also see interesting relations with the Siegel sets. This enables us to explicitly describe Satake compactifcations of H∕Γ. We will also consider the behavior at the “bottom” of the fundamental domains.
