We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Isometry groups of k-curvature homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds
Peter B. Gilkey and Stana Nikcevic
Abstract
We study the isometry groups of a family of complete (p+2)-curvature homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of neutral signature (3+2p,3+2p) which are 0-curvature modeled on an indecomposible symmetric space.
