Abstract

We give a complete classification of irreducible symmetric spaces for which there exist proper $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$-actions as isometries, using the criterion for proper actions by T. Kobayashi and combinatorial techniques of nilpotent orbits. In particular, we classify irreducible symmetric spaces that admit surface groups as discontinuous groups, combining this with Benoist’s theorem.
