Event description:
We prove the local differentiable rigidity of generic partially hyperbolic abelian algebraic higher-rank actions on compact homogeneous spaces obtained from various simple groups. The conclusions are based on the geometric approach by Katok-Damjanovic and a progress towards computations of the generating relations in these groups.
