The c-function for non-compactly causal symmetric spaces

In this paper we prove the product formula for the c-function of non-compactly causal symmetric spaces

Invariant Stein domains in Stein symmetric spaces and a non-linear complex convexity theorem

We prove a complex version of Kostant's non-linear convexity theorem. Applications to the construction of G-invariant Grauert tubes of non-compact Riemannian symmetric G/K spaces are given.Comment: 9 page

Complex crowns of Riemannian symmetric spaces and non-compactly causal symmetric spaces

In this paper we define a distinguished boundary for the complex crowns \Xi\subeq G_\C /K_\C of non-compact Riemannian symmetric spaces $G/K$. The basic result is that affine symmetric spaces of $G$ can appear as a component of this boundary if and only if they are non-compactly causal symmetric spaces.Comment: 29 page
