Abstract
Rigidity questions on rational homogeneous spaces arise naturally as higher dimensional generalizations of Riemann’s uniformization theorem in one complex variable. We will give an overview of some results obtained in this area by the study of minimal rational curves and geometric structures defined by the their tangent directions.
