Book introduces principles of LCK geometry for complex manifold students.

Generalizes tools for studying collapsed manifolds to new geometry.

Extends moment map concept to locally conformally Kähler manifolds.

We consider locally conformal Kaehler geometry as an equivariant, homothetic Kaehler geometry (K,Γ). We show that the de Rham class of the Lee form can be naturally identified with the homomorphism projecting Γto its dilation factors, thus completing the description of locally conformal Kaehler geometry in this equivar…

Local Hardy spaces defined for Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry.

The paper studies geometric properties of a specific type of submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds.

This article investigates a few questions about orbits of local automorphisms in manifolds endowed with rigid geometric structures. We give sufficient conditions for local homogeneity in a broad class of such structures, namely Cartan geometries, extending a classical result of Singer about locally homogeneous Riemanni…

LCD n-manifolds are linked to branched n-manifolds.

It is shown that the geometry of locally homogeneous multisymplectic manifolds (that is, smooth manifolds equipped with a closed nondegenerate form of degree > 1, which is locally homogeneous of degree k with respect to a local Euler field) is characterized by their automorphisms. Thus, locally homogeneous multisymplec…

Researchers tackle the globalization problem of locally cosymplectic Hamiltonian dynamics.

We consider locally conformal Kaehler geometry as an equivariant (homothetic) Kaehler geometry: a locally conformal Kaehler manifold is, up to equivalence, a pair (K,Γ) where K is a Kaehler manifold and Γa discrete Lie group of biholomorphic homotheties acting freely and properly discontinuously. We define a new invari…

Inspired by the role geometric structures play in our understanding of surfaces and three-manifolds, and Berger's observation that a surface of constant sectional curvature is determined up to local isometry by its Laplace spectrum, we explore the extent to which compact locally homogeneous three-manifolds are characte…

The paper extends a theorem to manifolds with local Ricci bounded covering geometry.

In this paper we study backward Ricci flow of locally homogeneous geometries of $4$-manifolds which admit compact quotients. We describe the long-term behavior of each class and show that many of the classes exhibit the same behavior near the singular time. In most cases, these manifolds converge to a sub-Riemannian ge…

We show that the extended principal bundle of a Cartan geometry of type $(A(m,\mathbb{R}),GL(m,\mathbb{R}))$, endowed with its extended connection $\hatω$, is isomorphic to the principal $A(m,\mathbb{R})$-bundle of affine frames endowed with the affine connection as defined in classical Kobayashi-Nomizu volume I. Then …

We construct several new classes of isospectral manifolds with different local geometries. After reviewing a theorem by Carolyn Gordon on isospectral torus bundles and presenting certain useful specialized versions (Chapter 1) we apply these tools to construct the first examples of isospectral four-dimensional manifold…

Article finds a geometric connection between structures on manifolds.

Holomorphic structures on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds are shown to be locally homogeneous.

We study local automorphisms of holomorphic Cartan geometries. This leads to classification results for compact complex manifolds admitting Cartan geometries. We prove that a compact Calabi-Yau manifold bearing a holomorphic Cartan geometry of algebraic type admits a finite unramified cover which is a complex torus.

We study collapsed manifolds with Ricci bounded covering geometry i.e., Ricci curvature is bounded below and the Riemannian universal cover is non-collapsed or consists of uniform Reifenberg points. Via Ricci flows' techniques, we partially extend the nilpotent structural results of Cheeger-Fukaya-Gromov, on collapsed …

In the paper we develop a framework for the alternative way of the study of a local geometry of almost cosymplectic manifolds with Kahlerian leaves. The main idea is to apply the concept of a geometry and analysis of CR manifolds. Locally the almost cosymplectic manifold is modeled on the 'mixed' space RxCn. There is g…

In this paper we discuss the twistor equation in Lorentzian spin geometry. In particular, we explain the local conformal structure of Lorentzian manifolds, which admit twistor spinors inducing lightlike Dirac currents. Furthermore, we derive all local geometries with singularity free twistor spinors that occur up to di…

Motivated by Felix Klein's notion that geometry is governed by its group of symmetry transformations, Charles Ehresmann initiated the study of geometric structures on topological spaces locally modeled on a homogeneous space of a Lie group. These locally homogeneous spaces later formed the context of Thurston's 3-dimen…

Study shows zero Pontrjagin classes for sprays.

We show that every Sasakian manifold in dimension $2k+1$ is locally generated by a free real function of $2k$ variables. This function is a Sasakian analogue of the Kähler potential for Kähler geometry. It is also shown that every locally Sasakian-Einstein manifold in $2k+1$ dimensions is generated by a locally Kähler-…

The paper develops quaternionic toric geometry and classifies local actions.

Two Riemannian manifolds are said to be isospectral if the associated Laplace-Belttrami operators have the same eigenvalue spectrum. If the manifolds have boundary, one specifies DIrichlet or Neumann isospectrality depending on the boundary conditions imposed on the eigenfunctions. We construct continuous families of (…

IsUMap improves data visualization of complex geometries.

We construct a tangent bundle exponential map and locally autoparallel coordinates for geometries based on a general connection on the tangent bundle of a manifold. As concrete application we use these new coordinates for Finslerian geometries and obtain Finslerian geodesic coordinates. They generalise normal coordinat…

Study homogenizes equations on parallelizable manifolds using tensor localization and periodicity.

Local model for Poisson manifolds around submanifolds.

Study shows compact Sasakian manifolds are locally Heisenberg up to deformation.

We present an overview of recent results in locally conformally Kähler geometry, with focus on the topological properties which obstruct the existence of such structures on compact manifolds.

We introduce the notion of manifolds of amalgamation geometry and its generalization, split geometry. We show that the limit set of any surface group of split geometry is locally connected, by constructing a natural Cannon-Thurston map.

The study extends convergence theorems for Ricci-limit spaces with bounded curvature.

Study local invariants and geometry of sub-Laplacian on H-type foliations.

Study invariants of elliptic curves in LCS manifolds, leading to new phenomena in Riemann-Finsler geometry.

To what extent does the eigenvalue spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannian manifold determine the geometry of the manifold? We give examples of isospectral manifolds with different local geometry including continuous families of isospectral negatively curved manifolds with boundary as well as …

Paper finds local normal forms for wavefronts in flat coordinates.

This is a survey on quaternion Hermitian Weyl (locally conformally quaternion Kähler) and hyperhermitian Weyl (locally conformally hyperkähler) manifolds. These geometries appear by requesting the compatibility of some quaternion Hermitian or hyperhermitian structure with a Weyl structure. The motivation for such a stu…

Study geometry on $G_2$-manifolds, focusing on $Spin(7)$ and $G_2$.

Determining the associated metrics we get a local classification of contact metric three manifolds.

We study 3-dimensional non-Riemannian Lorentz geometries, i.e. compact locally homogeneous Lorentz 3-manifolds with non-compact (local) isotropy group. One result is that, up to a finite cover, all such manifolds admit Lorentz metrics of (non-positive) constant sectionnal curvature. If the geometry is maximal, then the…

Study on complex manifolds introduces a new deformation of the Yamabe problem.

This paper develops a theory of graded manifolds in differential geometry.

The expression (-1/u) times the Hessian of u transforms as a symmetric (0,2) tensor under projective coordinate transformations, so long as u transforms as a section of a certain line bundle. On a locally projectively flat manifold M, the section u can be regarded as a metric potential analogous to the local potential …
