Abstract

We prove the local differentiable rigidity of partially hyperbolic abelian algebraic high-rank actions on compact homogeneous spaces obtained from simple indefinite orthogonal and unitary groups. The conclusions are based on geometric Katok-Damjanovic way and progress towards computations of the Schur multipliers of these non-split groups.
