For a locally symmetric space , we define a compactification which we call the “geodesic compactification”. It is constructed by adding limit points in to certain geodesics in . The geodesic compactification arises in other contexts. Two general constructions of Gromov for an ideal boundary of a Riemannian manifold give for locally symmetric spaces. Moreover, has a natural group theoretic construction using the Tits building. The geodesic compactification plays two fundamental roles in the harmonic analysis of the locally symmetric space:1) it is the minimal Martin compactification for negative eigenvalues of the Laplacian, and 2) it can be used to parameterize the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian in continuous spectrum on .
Pour un espace localement symétrique nous définissons une compactification que nous appelons “compactification géodésique”. Elle est construite en ajoutant des points limites dans à certaines géodésiques dans . La compactification géodésique apparaî t dans d’autres cas. Les constructions générales de Gromov permettent, dans le cas des espaces symétriques, d’identifier le bord de la compactification de Gromov avec . De plus se construit naturellement avec la théorie des groupes en utilisant l’immeuble de Tits. La compactification géodésique joue deux rôles fondamentaux dans l’analyse harmonique de l’espace localement symétrique : 1) c’est la compactification de Martin minimale pour les valeurs négatives du laplacien et 2) elle peut être utilisée pour paramétrer les valeurs propres du laplacien dans le spectre continu sur
