Abstract:
AbstractWe classify symmetric backgrounds of eleven-dimensional supergravity up to local isometry. In other words, we classify triples (M, g, F), where (M,g) is an eleven-dimensional lorentzian locally symmetric space and F is an invariant 4-form, satisfying the equations of motion of eleven-dimensional supergravity. The possible (M,g) are given either by (not necessarily nondegenerate) Cahen-Wallach spaces or by products AdSd × M11−d for 2 ⩽ d ⩽ 7 and M11−d a not necessarily irreducible riemannian symmetric space. In most cases we determine the corresponding F-moduli spaces.

Abstract:
In the Penrose limit, AdS ×S space turns into a Cahen–Wallach (CW) space whose Killing vectors satisfy a Heisenberg algebra. This algebra is mapped onto the holographic screen on the boundary of AdS. We show that the Heisenberg algebra on the boundary of AdS may be obtained directly from the CW space by appropriately constraining the states defined on it. The transformations generated by the constraint are similar to gauge transformations. The "holographic screen" on the CW space is thus obtained as a "gauge-fixing" condition.

Abstract:
Dans cette thèse, nous étudions des transformées de type Radon sur certains espaces symétriques. Une transformée de type Radon associe à toute fonction continue à support compact sur une variété $M$ ses intégrales sur une classe $Xi$ de sous-variétés de $M$. Le problème sur lequel nous nous concentrons est l'inversion d'une telle transformée, c'est-à-dire déterminer la fonction à partir de ses intégrales sur les sous-variétés dans $Xi$. Nous présentons d'abord la solution de ce problème inverse due à Sigurdur Helgason et François Rouvière, entre autres, lorsque $M$ est un espace symétrique riemannien isotrope et $Xi$ une certaine orbite de sous-variétés totalement géodésiques de $M$ sous l'action d'un groupe de transformations de Lie de $M$. La transformée de Radon associée est qualifiée de totalement géodésique.Sur les espaces symétriques pseudo-riemanniens semisimples, nous considérons une autre transformée de type Radon, qui associe à toute fonction continue à support compact ses intégrales orbitales, c'est-à-dire ses intégrales sur les orbites du sous-groupe d'isotropie du groupe des transvections. L'inversion des intégrales orbitales, qui est donnée par une formule-limite, a été obtenue par Sigurdur Helgason sur les espaces symétriques lorentziens à courbure sectionnelle constante et par Jeremy Orloff sur tout espace symétrique pseudo-riemannien semisimple de rang un. Nous résolvons le problème d'inversion des intégrales orbitales sur les espaces de Cahen-Wallach, qui sont les modèles d'espaces symétriques lorentziens indécomposables résolubles.Pour finir, nous nous intéressons aux transformées de type Radon sur les espaces symétriques symplectiques à courbure de type Ricci. L'inversion des orbitales intégrales sur ces espaces lorsqu'ils sont semisimples a déjà été obtenue par Jeremy Orloff. En revanche, lorsque ces espaces ne sont pas semisimples, la transformée donnée par les intégrales orbitales n’est pas inversible. Ensuite, nous déterminons les orbites de sous-variétés totalement géodésiques symplectiques ou lagrangiennes sous l'action d'un groupe de transformations de Lie de l'espace de départ. Dans ce contexte, la méthode d'inversion développée par Sigurdur Helgason et François Rouvière, entre autres, ne fonctionne que pour les transformées de Radon totalement géodésiques symplectiques sur les espaces symétriques kählériens à courbure holomorphe constante. Les formules d'inversion de ces transformées sur les espaces hyperboliques complexes sont dues à François Rouvière. Nous calculons les formules d'inversion de ces transformées sur les espaces projectifs complexes.
In this thesis, we study Radon-type transforms on some symmetric spaces. A Radon-type transform associates to any compactly supported continuous function on a manifold $M$ its integrals over a class $Xi$ of submanifolds of $M$. The problem we address is the inversion of such a transform, that is determining the function in terms of its integrals over the submanifolds in $Xi$. We first present the solution to this inverse problem which is due to Sigurdur Helgason and François Rouvière, amongst others, when $M$ is an isotropic Riemannian symmetric space and $Xi$ a particular orbit of totally geodesic submanifolds of $M$ under the action of a Lie transformation group of $M$. The associated Radon transform is qualified as totally geodesic.On semisimple pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces, we consider an other Radon-type transform, which associates to any compactly supported continuous function its orbital integrals, that is its integrals over the orbits of the isotropy subgroup of the transvection group. The inversion of orbital integrals, which is given by a limit-formula, has been obtained by Sigurdur Helgason on Lorentzian symmetric spaces with constant sectional curvature and by Jeremy Orloff on any rank-one semisimple pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space. We solve the inverse problem for orbital integrals on Cahen-Wallach spaces, which are model spaces of solvable indecomposable Lorentzian symmetric spaces.In the last part of the thesis, we are interested in Radon-type transforms on symplectic symmetric spaces with Ricci-type curvature. The inversion of orbital integrals on these spaces when they are semisimple has already been obtained by Jeremy Orloff. However, when these spaces are not semisimple, the orbital integral operator is not invertible. Next, we determine the orbits of symplectic or Lagrangian totally geodesic submanifolds under the action of a Lie transformation group of the starting space. In this context, the technique of inversion that has been developed by Sigurdur Helgason and François Rouvière, amongst others, only works for symplectic totally geodesic Radon transforms on Kählerian symmetric spaces with constant holomorphic curvature. The inversion formulas for these transforms on complex hyperbolic spaces are due to François Rouvière. We compute the inversion formulas for these transforms on complex projective spaces.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the conformal structure of Cahen-Wallach spaces, and the potential construction of compact conformal quotients of Cahen-Wallach spaces. Along the way, we prove novel results about cocompact group actions, and essential homotheties. We show that any cocompact, properly discontinuous, conformal action on a Cahen-Wallach space of imaginary type must be isometric. And we demonstrate that no cocompact, properly discontinuous, conformal action on a Cahen-Wallach space can centralize an essential transformation. These results are relevant in the study of the compact Lorentzian Lichnerowicz conjecture, as they limit possible counterexamples.
