In this paper we continue to study actions of high-dimensional Lie groups on complex manifolds. We give a complete explicit description of all pairs $(M,G)$, where $M$ is a connected complex manifold $M$ of dimension $n\ge 2$, and $G$ is a connected Lie group of dimension $n^2+1$ acting effectively and properly on $M$ …

Some aspects of the connection between differential geometry and multidimensional soliton equations are discussed.

The Einstein universe is the conformal compactification of Minkowski space. It also arises as the ideal boundary of anti-de Sitter space. The purpose of this article is to develop the synthetic geometry of the Einstein universe in terms of its homogeneous submanifolds and causal structure, with particular emphasis on d…

We show that the second greatest possible dimension of the group of (local) almost isometries of a Finsler metric is $\frac{n^2 -n}{2} +1$ for $n= dim(M)\ne 4$ and $\frac{n^2 -n}{2} +2 =8$ for $n=4$. If a Finsler metric has the group of almost isometries of dimension greater than $\frac{n^2 -n}{2} +1$, then the Finsle…

We carry out a Painlevé analysis of the systems of differential equations corresponding to the steady and the expanding, rotationally symmetric, gradient Ricci solitons on $\mathbb{R}^n$. For the steady case, dimensions of the form $n=k^2+1$ are singled out, with dimensions 2, 5, and 10 being particularly distinguished…

We consider globally hyperbolic flat spacetimes in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions, in which a uniform light signal is emitted on the $r$-level surface of the cosmological time for $r\to 0$. We show that the frequency of this signal, as perceived by a fixed observer, is a well-defined, bounded function which is generally not co…

We show that there does not exist a Kobayashi hyperbolic complex manifold of dimension $n\ne 3$, whose group of holomorphic automorphisms has dimension $n^2+1$ and that, if a 3-dimensional connected hyperbolic complex manifold has automorphism group of dimension 10, then it is holomorphically equivalent to the Siegel s…

Geometrical flows (GF) play an important role in modern mathematics and physics. In this letter we have considered some integrable isotropic GF -- Ricci flows (RF) and mean curvature flows (MCF) -- which are related with integrable Heisenberg ferromagnets. In 2+1 dimensions, these GF have a singularity at $t=t_{0}$.
