Study relates Finsler structures to Clifford bundles for flat metrics.

Extends Kostant's results to symmetric pairs in Clifford algebras.

A Clifford-Wolf translation of a connected Finsler space is an isometry which moves each point the same distance. A Finsler space $(M, F)$ is called Clifford-Wolf homogeneous if for any two points $x_1, x_2\in M$ there is a Clifford-Wolf translation $ρ$ such that $ρ(x_1)=x_2$. In this paper, we give a complete classifi…

We introduce the concept of a Clifford-Weyl structure on a conformal manifold, which consists of an even Clifford structure parallel with respect to the tensor product of a metric connection on the Clifford bundle and a Weyl structure on the manifold. We show that the Weyl structure is necessarily closed except for som…

New symmetric Willmore tori emerge from Clifford torus in Berger spheres.

A Clifford-Wolf translation of a connected Finsler space is an isometry which moves each point the sam distance. A Finsler space $(M, F)$ is called Clifford-Wolf homogeneous if for any two point $x_1, x_2\in M$ there is a Clifford-Wolf translation $ρ$ such that $ρ(x_1)=x_2$. In this paper, we study Clifford-Wolf transl…

We consider the diffeological version of the Clifford algebra of a (diffeological) finite-dimensional vector space; we start by commenting on the notion of a diffeological algebra (which is the expected analogue of the usual one) and that of a diffeological module (also an expected counterpart of the usual notion). Aft…

Classifies compact Clifford-Klein forms for specific Lie algebras.

In this paper, we study Clifford-Wolf translations of Finsler spaces. We first give a characterization of Clifford-Wolf translations of Finsler spaces in terms of Killing vector fields. In particular, we show that there is a natural correspondence between Clifford-Wolf translations and the Killing vector fields of cons…

We consider pseudo-Riemannian generalizations of Osserman, Clifford, and the duality principle properties for algebraic curvature tensors and investigate relations between them. We introduce quasi-Clifford curvature tensors using a generalized Clifford family and show that they are Osserman. This allows us to discover …

The paper explores connections between quaternionic and Cayley calibrations in dimensions 8 and 16.

In this paper we give a construction of Fedosov quantization incorporating the odd variables and an analogous formula to Getzler's pseudodifferential calculus composition formula is obtained. A Fedosov type connection is constructed on the bundle of Weyl tensor Clifford algebras over the cotangent bundle of a Riemannia…

A homogeneous space G/H is said to have a compact Clifford-Klein form if there exists a discrete subgroup D of G that acts properly discontinuously on G/H, such that the quotient space D\G/H is compact. When n is even, we find every closed, connected subgroup H of G = SO(2,n), such that G/H has a compact Clifford-Klein…

The geometry of nonholonomic bundle gerbes, provided with nonlinear connection structure, and nonholonomic gerbe modules is elaborated as the theory of Clifford modules on nonholonomic manifolds which positively fail to be spin. We explore an approach to such nonholonomic Dirac operators and derive the related Atiyah-S…

Unified study of surfaces using Clifford algebras.

We provide a necessary condition for the existence of a compact Clifford-Klein form of a given homogeneous space of reductive type. The key to the proof is to combine a result of Kobayashi-Ono with an elementary fact that certain two different Clifford-Klein forms have the same cohomology ring. We give some examples, S…

New proof of divisibility property for certain algebraic varieties.

We compute the Bott-Morse Floer cohomology of the Clifford torus in $\CP^n$ with all possible spin-structures. Each spin structure is known to determine an orientation of the moduli space of holomorphic discs, and we analyze the change of orientation according to the change of spin structure of the Clifford torus. Also…

Our goal is to generalize the Choe-Hoppe helicoid and Clifford cones in Euclidean space. By sweeping out $L$ indpendent Clifford cones in ${\mathbb{R}}^{2N+2}$ via the multi-screw motion, we construct minimal submanifolds in ${\mathbb{R}}^{L(2N+2)+1}$. Also, we sweep out the $L$-rays Clifford cone (introduced in Sectio…

Study pin manifolds using Clifford linear Dirac operator and KO-theory.

In this paper, we obtain several new characterizations of the Clifford torus as a Lagrangian self-shrinker. We first show that the Clifford torus $\mathbb{S}^1(1)\times\mathbb{S}^1(1)$ is the unique compact orientable Lagrangian self-shrinker in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with $|A|^2\leq 2$, which gives an affirmative answer to Ca…

The Clifford torus minimizes Willmore energy closely for small perturbations.

In this article we prove that under certain assumptions, a reductive homogeneous space G/H does not admit a solvable compact Clifford-Klein form. This generalizes the well known non-existence theorem of Benoist for nilpotent Clifford-Klein forms. This generalization works for a particular class of homogeneous spaces de…

We present a generalization of the Clifford action for other representations spaces of $Spin(n)$, which is called the Clifford homomorphism. Their properties extend to the ones for the higher spin Dirac operators on spin manifolds. In particular, we have general Bochner identities for them, and an eigenvalue estimate o…

In this paper, using connections between Clifford-Wolf isometries and Killing vector fields of constant length on a given Riemannian manifold, we classify simply connected Clifford-Wolf homogeneous Riemannian manifolds. We also get the classification of complete simply connected Riemannian manifolds with the Killing pr…

Classifies 4D spaces with compact Clifford-Klein forms.

Let $(M,g)$ be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of signature $(p,q)$. We construct mutually quasi-inverse equivalences between the groupoid of bundles of weakly-faithful complex Clifford modules on $(M,g)$ and the groupoid of reduced complex Lipschitz structures on $(M,g)$. As an application, we show that $(M,g)$ admits a …

We complete the classification, initiated by the second named author, of homogeneous singular Riemannian foliations of spheres that are lifts of foliations produced from Clifford systems.

Study cohomology rings of Grassmannians using Clifford algebras and symmetric spaces.

We compute the structure groups of almost even-Clifford Hermitian manifolds and determine when such groups lead to Spin structures.

On the one hand, we prove that the Clifford torus in $\mathbb{C}^2$ is unstable for Lagrangian mean curvature flow under arbitrarily small Hamiltonian perturbations, even though it is Hamiltonian $F$-stable and locally area minimising under Hamiltonian variations. On the other hand, we show that the Clifford torus is r…

We provide several rigidity results for the Clifford torus in the class of compact self-shrinkers for Lagrangian mean curvature flow.

In this paper we introduce the twistor space of a Riemannian manifold with an even Clifford structure. This notion generalizes the twistor space of quaternion-Hermitian manifolds and weak-Spin(9) structures. We also construct almost complex structures on the twistor space for parallel even Clifford structures and check…

Square Clifford torus uniquely determined by isoperimetric ratio, rectangular torus not.

We prove the rigidity and vanishing of several indices of "geometrically natural" twisted Dirac operators on almost even-Clifford Hermitian manifolds admitting circle actions by automorphisms.

In this thesis, we show the existence of a sequence of differential operators starting with with the Dirac operator in k Clifford variables, $D=(D_1,..., D_k)$, where $D_i=\sum_j e_j\cdot \partial_{ij}: C^\infty((\R^n)^k,§)\to C^\infty((\R^n)^k,§)$ ($§$ is the spinor module). This operator is the Cauchy-Riemann operato…

We study equations over torsion-free groups in terms of their `t-shape' (the occurences of the variable t in the equation). A t-shape is good if any equation with that shape has a solution. It is an outstanding conjecture that all t-shapes are good. In [Klyachko's methods and the solution of equations over torsion-free…

The Clifford torus is a product surface in $\mathbb S^3$ and it is helicoidal. It will be shown that more minimal submanifolds of $\mathbb S^n$ have these properties.

We give an inductive construction for irreducible Clifford systems on Euclidean vector spaces. We then discuss how this notion can be adapted to Riemannian manifolds, and outline some developments in octonionic geometry.

We consider the diffeological pseudo-bundles of exterior algebras, and the Clifford action of the corresponding Clifford algebras, associated to a given finite-dimensional and locally trivial diffeological vector pseudo-bundle, as well as the behavior of the former three constructions (exterior algebra, Clifford action…
