CHERN-SIMONSFORMSOFPSEUDO-RIEMANNIAN HOMOGENEITYONTHEOSCILLATORGROUP P.M.GADEA andJ.A.OUBI?A Received 17October 2002 We consider forms of Chern-Simons type associated to homogeneous pseudo- Riemannian structures. The corresponding secondary classes are a measure of the lack of ahomogeneous pseudo-Riemannian space to be locally symmetric. In the present paper, we compute these forms for the oscillator group and the cor- responding secondary classes ofthe compact quotients ofthis group. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi?cation: 57R20, 53C30, 53C50. 1.
