Similar type results are also proven for irreducible, locally symmetric spaces of noncompact type. Generalizations to complete Kähler manifolds satisfying a weighted Poincaré inequality are also being consideredDifferential Geometry58J90Connectedness at infinity of complete Kähler manifolds and locally symmetric spacestext
