Invariant metric on the extended Siegel-Jacobi upper half space
Abstract
The real Jacobi group GJn(R), defined as the semidirect product of the Heisenberg group Hn() with the symplectic group Sp(n,R), admits a matrix embedding in Sp(n+1,R). The modified pre-Iwasawa decomposition of Sp(n,R) allows us to introduce a convenient coordinatization Sn of GJn(R), which for GJ1(R) coincides with the S-coordinates. Invariant one-forms on GJn(R) are determined. The formula of the 4-parameter invariant metric on GJ1() obtained as sum of squares of 6 invariant one-forms is extended to GJn(), n∈N. We obtain a three parameter invariant metric on the extended Siegel-Jacobi upper half space XJn≈XJn× R by adding the square of an invariant one-form to the two-parameter balanced metric on the Siegel-Jacobi upper half space XJn =GJn(R)U(n)×R.
