In this paper, we study the geometry of compact complex manifolds with Levi-Civita Ricci-flat metrics and prove that compact complex surfaces admitting Levi-Civita Ricci-flat metrics are Kahler Calabi-Yau surfaces or Hopf surfaces.

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. …

Study on null-projectability of Levi-Civita connections in neutral metrics.

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

Solves Lie's 3D metric problem for projective vector fields.

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…

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

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…

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…

The paper studies geometric structures in Sol_3 with two connections.

New derivation of Type IIA flow 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…

Let Riemannian metrics $g$ and $\bar g$ on a connected manifold $M^n$ have the same geodesics (considered as unparameterized curves). Suppose the eigenvalues of one metric with respect to the other are all different at a point. Then, by the famous Levi-Civita's Theorem, the metrics have a certain standard form near the…

Study odd generalized Einstein metrics on 3D Lie groups.

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…

Study of manifolds with flat connections and diagonal metrics leading to vanishing Euler characteristic.

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.

In this paper, we introduce the first Aeppli-Chern class for complex manifolds and show that the $(1,1)$- component of the curvature $2$-form of the Levi-Civita connection on the anti-canonical line bundle represents this class. We systematically investigate the relationship between a variety of Ricci curvatures on Her…

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…

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 analyzes finite element methods on manifolds with approximate metrics.

Study flat connections on Courant algebroids using Lie groups.

This thesis contains an introduction to the method of average in Finsler geometry. The method is applied to Berwald spaces, obtaining geodesic rigidity conditions. We prove that the Levi-Civita connection of any Riemannian metric affine equivalent to the Berwald metric leaves invariant the indicatrix of th Finsler metr…

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

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 prove that every complete Einstein (Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian) metric $g$ is geodesically rigid: if any other complete metric $\bar g$ has the same (unparametrized) geodesics with $g$, then the Levi-Civita connections of $g$ and $\bar g$ coincide.

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…

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 $N$.…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, $L(M)$ its frame bundle. We construct new examples of Riemannian metrics on $L(M)$, which are obtained from Riemannian metrics on the tangent bundle $TM$. We compute the Levi--Civita connection and curvatures of these metrics.

This study describes the Fisher-Rao metric on Gaussian measures in infinite-dimensional spaces.

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.

The present paper is devoted to the problem of (local) geodesic equivalence of Riemannian metrics and sub-Riemannian metrics on generic corank 1 distributions. Using Pontryagin Maximum Principle, we treat Riemannian and sub-Riemannian cases in an unified way and obtain some algebraic necessary conditions for the geodes…

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

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…

Study of degenerate contrast functions on Lie groupoids and their geometric structures.

The main purpose of the paper is to investigate Killing vector field on the tangent bundle T(M_{n}) of the Riemannian manifold with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of the metric II+III .

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

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 …

Study on 3D manifolds with circulant structures and their properties.

An example of a three dimensional flat paracontact metric manifold with respect to Levi-Civita connection is constructed. It is shown that no such manifold exists for odd dimensions greater than or equal to five.
