Derives Levi-Civita connection formulas for specific geometries.

Study finds all conformal Ricci collineations on specific 3D Lorentzian groups.

The paper proves unique Levi-Civita connections on noncommutative forms.

For any flag manifold G/T we obtain an explicit expression of its Levi-Civita connection with respect to any invariant Riemannian metric.

In this paper, we prove a local index theorem for the DeRham Hodge-laplacian which is defined by the connection compatible with metric. This connection need not be the Levi-Civita connection. When the connection is Levi-Civita connection, this is the classical local Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem.

The paper studies geometric structures in Sol_3 with two connections.

Constructs a unique Levi-Civita connection for generalised metrics.

We show how to define Riemannian metrics and connections on a noncommutative torus in such a way that an analogue of Levi-Civita's theorem on the existence and uniqueness of a Riemannian connection holds. The major novelty is that we need to use two different notions of noncommutative vector field. Levi-Civita's theore…

As is well known, a metric on a manifold determines a unique symmetric connection for which the metric is parallel: the Levi-Civita connection. In this paper we investigate the inverse problem: to what extent is the metric of a Riemannian manifold determined by its Levi-Civita connection? It is shown that for a generic…

The paper studies curvatures in metric Jordan algebras, proving unique connections and curvature formulas.

A diffeological connection on a diffeological vector pseudo-bundle is defined just the usual one on a smooth vector bundle; this is possible to do, because there is a standard diffeological counterpart of the cotangent bundle. On the other hand, there is not yet a standard theory of tangent bundles, although there are …

Defines and classifies algebraic Schouten solitons in 3D Lorentzian Lie groups.

The paper approximates Levi-Civita connection and curvature on 2D manifolds using finite elements.

Symmetric connections that are compatible with semi-Riemannian metrics can be characterized using an existence result for an integral leaf of a (possibly non integrable) distribution. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a left-invariant connection on a Lie group to be the Levi-Civita connectio…

Study flat connections on Courant algebroids using Lie groups.

Defines a new natural connection on Riemannian Π-manifolds.

Torsion-free connections on $G$-structures are proven for certain groups.

This is a continuation of our previous paper [14]. In [14], we introduced the first Aeppli-Chern class on compact complex manifolds, and proved that the $(1,1)$ curvature form of the Levi-Civita connection represents the first Aeppli-Chern class which is a natural link between Riemannian geometry and complex geometry. …

The present paper deals with the study of Chaki-pseudo parallel and Deszcz-pseudo parallel invariant submanifolds of SQ-Sasakian manifolds with respect to Levi-Civita connection and semisymmetric metric connection and obtain that these two classes are equivalent with a certain condition. Also the invariant and anti-inv…

The basic class of the non-integrable almost complex manifolds with a pair of Norden metrics are considered. The interconnections between corresponding quantities at the transformation between the two Levi-Civita connections are given. A 4-parametric family of 4-dimensional quasi-Kaehler manifolds with Norden metric is…

Study on $G_2$-structures manifold geometry.

We build metrized quantum vector bundles, over a generically transcendental quantum torus, from Riemannian metrics, using Rosenberg's Levi-Civita connections for these metrics. We also prove that two metrized quantum vector bundles, corresponding to positive scalar multiples of a Riemannian metric, have distance zero b…

New derivation of Type IIA flow metrics.

A $(J^{2}=\pm 1)$-metric manifold has an almost complex or almost product structure $J$ and a compatible metric $g$. We show that there exists a canonical involution in the set of connections on such a manifold, which allows to define a projection over the set of connections adapted to $J$. This projection sends the Le…

The paper explores geometric calculations on probability manifolds derived from master equations.

The paper classifies translation surfaces with constant curvature in a specific connection.

Develops Palatini formalism in generalized geometry for string theory.

In this article I will prove new representation for the Levi-Civita connection in terms of the stochastic flow corresponding to Brownian motion on manifold.

We present a number of conditions which are necessary for an n-dimensional projective structure (M,[nabla]) to include the Levi-Civita connection nabla of some metric on M. We provide an algorithm, which effectively checks if a Levi-Civita connection is in the projective class and, in the positive, which finds this con…

We study Hermitian metrics with a Gauduchon connection being "Kähler-like", namely, satisfying the same symmetries for curvature as the Levi-Civita and Chern connections. In particular, we investigate $6$-dimensional solvmanifolds with invariant complex structures with trivial canonical bundle and with invariant Hermit…

Study of convex hypersurfaces with specific curvature properties.

This paper classifies hypersurfaces in n+1 with parallel Fubini-Pick form.

Study odd generalized Einstein metrics on 3D Lie groups.

We construct a canonically defined affine connection in sub-Riemannian contact geometry. Our method mimics that of the Levi-Civita connection in Riemannian geometry. We compare it with the Tanaka-Webster connection in the three-dimensional case.

New approach to Carrollian geometry using $\mathbb{R}^ imes$-bundles.

In these notes we survey basic concepts of affine geometry and their interaction with Riemannian geometry. We give a characterization of affine manifolds which has as counterpart those pseudo-Riemannian manifolds whose Levi-Civita connection is flat. We show that no connected semisimple Lie group admits a left invarian…

The paper studies a new connection on Riemannian manifolds and finds conditions for symplectic manifolds.

We consider odd Poisson (odd symplectic) structure on supermanifolds induced by an odd symmetric rank $2$ (non-degenerate) contravariant tensor field. We describe the difference between odd Riemannian and odd symplectic structure in terms of the Cartan prolongation of the corresponding Lie algebras, and formulate an an…

Classifies Weyl structures on compact conformal manifolds with special holonomy.

We show that a 7-dimensional non-compact Ricci-flat Riemannian manifold with Riemannian holonomy G_2 can admit non-integrable G_2 structures of type R + S^2_0(R^7) + R^7 in the sense of Fernández and Gray. This relies on the construction of some G_2 solvmanifolds, whose Levi-Civita connection is known to give a paralle…

In this paper, it is proved that a connected 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold or a closed connected semi-Riemannian manifold $M^n$($n>1$) admitting a projective vector field with a non-linearizable singularity is projectively flat.

We build an analogue for the Levi-Civita connection on Riemannian manifolds for sub-Riemannian manfiolds modeled on the Heisenberg group. We demonstrate some geometric properties of this connection to justify our choice and show that this connection is unique in having these properties.

Let $x:M\to\Bm$ be the canonical injection of a Null Hypersurface $(M,g)$ in a semi-Riemannian manifold $(\overline{M},\bar g)$. A rigging for $M$ is a vector field $L$ defined on some open set of $\overline{M}$ containing $M$ such that $L_p\notin T_pM$ for each $p\in M$. Such a vector field induces a null rigging $N$.…

We construct an example of a closed manifold with a nonflat reducible locally metric connection such that it preserves a conformal structure and such that it is not the Levi-Civita connection of a Riemannian metric.
