On a smooth manifold M, generalized complex (generalized paracomplex) structures provide a notion of interpolation between complex (paracomplex) and symplectic structures on M. Given a complex manifold (M,j), we define six families of distinguished generalized complex or paracomplex structures on M. Each one of them in…

We recall the presentation of the generalized, complex structures by classical tensor fields, while noticing that one has a similar presentation and the same integrability conditions for generalized, paracomplex and subtangent structures. This presentation shows that the generalized, complex, paracomplex and subtangent…

The connection between Hitchin's stable forms and vector cross products is observed. Using this correspondence, we construct new examples of non-Kahler Calabi-Yau 3-folds and manifolds with G2-structure of class W3. We also generalize and refine results of Calabi and Gray in the paracomplex setting.

It is the aim of this work to study product structures on four dimensional solvable Lie algebras. We determine all possible paracomplex structures and consider the case when one of the subalgebras is an ideal. These results are applied to the case of Manin triples and complex product structures. We also analyze the thr…

We study the pseudoriemannian geometry of almost parahermitian manifolds, obtaining a formula for the Ricci tensor of the Levi-Civita connection. The formula uses the intrinsic torsion of an underlying SL(n,R)-structure; we express it in terms of exterior derivatives of some appropriately defined differential forms. As…

For each notion of diagrammatic bridge number considered, we find crossing …

Spatial embeddings of planar graphs can have higher unknotting numbers than crossing numbers.

The unknotting number of a knot is the minimum number of crossings one must change to turn that knot into the unknot. The algebraic unknotting number is the minimum number of crossing changes needed to transform a knot into an Alexander polynomial-one knot. We work with a generalization of unknotting number due to Math…
