Classifies 1-connected Lorentzian manifolds with essential conformal groups.

New conformally Einstein metrics on Heisenberg group found.

In this note we study the problem of conformally flat structures bounding conformally flat structures and show that the eta invariants give obstructions. These lead us to the definition of an abelian group, the conformal cobordism group, which classifies the conformally flat structures according to whether they bound (…

Survey on invariant conformal Killing forms on Lie groups.

In this paper, we investigated the behavior of left-invariant conformal vector fields on Lie groups with left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics. First of all, we prove that conformal vector fields on pseudo-Riemannian unimodular Lie groups are Killing. Then we obtain a necessary condition for a pseudo-Rimennian non-u…

In this paper a conformal classification of three dimensional left-invariant sub-Riemannian contact structures is carried out; in particular we will prove the following dichotomy: either a structure is locally conformal to the Heisenberg group $\mathbb H_3$, or its conformal classification coincides with the metric one…

The paper explores conformal groups on plane waves and proves a conjecture in locally homogeneous settings.

Study explores solvable Lie groups' actions on closed Lorentzian manifolds.

We study pseudo-Riemanniasn manifolds $(M,g)$ with transitive group of conformal transformation which is essential, i.e. does not preserves any metric conformal to $g$. All such manifolds of Lorentz signature with non exact isotropy representation of the stability subalgebra are described. A construction of essential c…

The paper develops a theory of conformal density at infinity for groups with contracting elements.

We consider conformal actions of simple Lie groups on compact Lorentzian manifolds. Mainly motivated by the Lorentzian version of a conjecture of Lichnerowicz, we establish the alternative: Either the group acts isometrically for some metric in the conformal class, or the manifold is conformally flat - that is, everywh…

We discuss in this paper the conformal geometry of bi-invariant metrics on compact semisimple Lie groups. For this purpose we develop a conformal Cartan calculus adapted to this problem. In particular, we derive an explicit formula for the holonomy algebra of the normal conformal Cartan connection of a bi-invariant met…

Explicit models for the restricted conformal group of the Einstein static universe of dimension greater than two and for its universal covering group are constructed. Based on these models, as an application we determine all oriented and time-oriented conformal Lorentz manifolds whose restricted conformal group has max…

Maps commuting with sub-Laplacians on Carnot groups are conformal.

Study conformal Killing forms on specific nilpotent Lie groups.

We study conformal actions of connected nilpotent Lie groups on compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We prove that if a type-(p,q) compact manifold M supports a conformal action of a connected nilpotent group H, then the degree of nilpotence of H is at most 2p+1, assuming p <= q; further, if this maximal degree is atta…

Study finds a linear lower bound on conformal dimension for random hyperbolic groups.

Proves Lorentzian manifold properties for analytic 3D spaces.

For $(M,[g])$ a conformal manifold of signature $(p,q)$ and dimension at least three, the conformal holonomy group $\mathrm{Hol}(M,[g]) \subset O(p+1,q+1)$ is an invariant induced by the canonical Cartan geometry of $(M,[g])$. We give a description of all possible connected conformal holonomy groups which act transitiv…

We prove various classification results for homogeneous locally conformally symplectic manifolds. In particular, we show that a homogeneous locally conformally Kaehler manifold of a reductive group is of Vaisman type, if the normalizer of the isotropy group is compact. We also show that such a result does not hold in t…

We consider the question: can the isotropy representation of an irreducible pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space be realized as a conformal holonomy group? Using recent results of Cap, Gover and Hammerl, we study the representations of SO(2,1), PSU(2,1) and PSp(2,1) as isotropy groups of irreducible symmetric spaces of si…

We find new bounds on the conformal dimension of small cancellation groups. These are used to show that a random few relator group has conformal dimension 2+o(1) asymptotically almost surely (a.a.s.). In fact, if the number of relators grows like l^K in the length l of the relators, then a.a.s. such a random group has …

Study shows pooling scores for conformal prediction distorts group coverage.

Defines formal vertex laws related to Lie conformal algebras.

If the conformal holonomy group $Hol(\mathcal{T})$ of a simply connected space with conformal structure of signature $(2p-1,2q-1)$ is reduced to $\U(p,q)$ then the conformal holonomy is already contained in the special unitary group $\SU(p,q)$. We present two different proofs of this statement, one using conformal trac…

Bounds on conformal dimension for certain Coxeter group boundaries.

Semisimplicity proven for conformal blocks representations.

We present some examples of locally conformal symplectic structures of the first kind on compact nilmanifolds which do not admit Vaisman metrics. One of these examples does not admit locally conformal Kähler metrics and all the structures come from left-invariant locally conformal symplectic structures on the correspon…

Minimal conformal foliations on Lie groups are shown to be fibres of harmonic morphisms.

By a conformal string in Euclidean space is meant a closed critical curve with non-constant conformal curvatures of the conformal arclength functional. We prove that (1) the set of conformal classes of conformal strings is in 1-1 correspondence with the rational points of the complex domain $\{q\in \mathbb{C} \,:\, 1/2…

The aim of this paper is to classify the cohomogeneity one conformal actions on the three-dimensional essential Riemannian spaces, up to orbit equivalence. Among other results, the representations of all connected Lie groups acting with cohomogeneity one or zero within the full conformal group of a given three-dimensio…

The paper proves a unique conformal measure for Anosov groups and shows local mixing.

We study the existence of lattices in almost abelian Lie groups that admit left invariant locally conformal Kähler or locally conformal symplectic structures in order to obtain compact solvmanifolds equipped with these geometric structures. In the former case, we show that such lattices exist only in dimension $4$, whi…

New proof shows all conformal fields are Killing on specific spaces.

We study here compact manifolds with positive scalar curvature metrics. We use the relative Yamabe invariant from math.DG/0008138 to define the conformal cobordism relation on the category of such manifolds. We prove that corresponding conformal cobordism groups $\Pos_n^{\conf}(γ)$ are isomorphic to the cobordism group…
