Flat manifolds with homogeneous holonomy representation

Authors: Rafał Lutowski

Abstract:

We show that a rational holonomy representation of any compact flat manifold except a torus must have at least two non-equivalent irreducible subrepresentations. As an application, we show that if a compact flat Kähler manifold is not a torus, then its holonomy representation is reducible.

Keywords: Bieberbach group, flat manifold, Kähler manifold, homogeneous representation, holonomy representation
