%0 Journal Article %T The signature in actions of semisimple Lie groups on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds %A Jos¨¦ Rosales-Ortega %J Proyecciones (Antofagasta) %D 2012 %I Universidad Cat¨®lica del Norte %X We study the relationship between the signature of a semisimple Lie group and a pseudoRiemannian manifold on wich the group acts topologically transitively and isometrically. We also provide a description of the bi-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on a semisimple Lie Group over R in terms of the complexification of the Lie algebra associated to the group, and then we utilize it to prove a remark of Gromov. %K semisimple Lie groups %K bi-invariant metric %K local freeness %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0716-09172012000100006
