Defines strongest integrability condition for skew-symmetric endomorphisms.

We study Nijenhuis structures on Courant algebroids in terms of the canonical Poisson bracket on their symplectic realizations. We prove that the Nijenhuis torsion of a skew-symmetric endomorphism N of a Courant algebroid is skew-symmetric if the square of N is proportional to the identity, and only in this case when t…

A para-Kähler manifold can be defined as a pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with a parallel skew-symmetric para-complex structures $K$, i.e. a parallel field of skew-symmetric endomorphisms with $K^2 = \mathrm{Id}$ or, equivalently, as a symplectic manifold $(M,ω)$ with a bi-Lagrangian structure $L^\pm$, i.e. two c…

For $n \geq 1$, the twistor space $\mathfrak{Z}(\mathbb{S}^{2n})$ of the conformal $2n$-sphere is biholomorphic to the Zariski closure, taken in the complex Grassmannian manifold $\mathbf{G}(n+1, 2n+2)$, of the set of graphs of skew-symmetric linear endomorphism of $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$. We use this fact to describe a nat…

An associated Nijenhuis tensor of endomorphisms in the tangent bundle is introduced. Special attention is paid to such tensors for an almost hypercomplex structure and the metric of Hermitian-Norden type. There are studied relations between the six associated Nijenhuis tensors as well as their vanishing. It is given a …

This research introduces Lie brackets on spaces of biderivations in Lie algebras.

The Hermitian symmetric space $M=\mathrm{EIII}$ appears in the classification of complete simply connected Riemannian manifolds carrying a parallel even Clifford structure. This means the existence of a real oriented Euclidean vector bundle $E$ over it together with an algebra bundle morphism $\varphi:\mathrm{Cl}^0(E) …

Let L\subset V=\bR^{k,l} be a maximally isotropic subspace. It is shown that any simply connected Lie group with a bi-invariant flat pseudo-Riemannian metric of signature (k,l) is 2-step nilpotent and is defined by an element η\in Λ^3L\subset Λ^3V. If ηis of type (3,0)+(0,3) with respect to a skew-symmetric endomorphis…

We show that all non-trivial continuous endomorphisms of the circle group are topologically mixing. We also show that there exists a large infinite class of continuous endomorphisms of any n-dimensional torus group which are topologically mixing. Lastly, we prove that any continuous endomorphism on an abelian polish se…

The paper defines symmetric brackets for skew-symmetric algebroids with totally skew-symmetric torsion.

A geometry with parallel skew-symmetric torsion is a Riemannian manifold carrying a metric connection with parallel skew-symmetric torsion. Besides the trivial case of the Levi-Civita connection, geometries with non-vanishing parallel skew-symmetric torsion arise naturally in several geometric contexts, e.g. on natural…

The paper classifies fixed subgroups of endomorphisms in free-abelian times surface groups.

Any endomorphism of a finitely generated free group naturally descends to an injective endomorphism of its stable quotient. In this paper, we prove a geometric incarnation of this phenomenon: namely, that every expanding irreducible train track map inducing an endomorphism of the fundamental group gives rise to an expa…

We determine the automorphisms and the continuous endomorphisms of the Einstein gyrogroup in arbitrary dimension. This generalizes a recent result of Lajos Molnár and Dániel Virosztek, who have determined the continuous endomorphisms in the three-dimensional case.

We prove that the mass endomorphism associated to the Dirac operator on a Riemannian manifold is non-zero for generic Riemannian metrics. The proof involves a study of the mass endomorphism under surgery, its behavior near metrics with harmonic spinors, and analytic perturbation arguments.

The monoids of simplicial endomorphisms, i.e. the monoids of endomorphisms in the simplicial category, are submonoids of monoids one finds in Temperley-Lieb algebras, and as the monoids of Temperley-Lieb algebras are linked to situations where an endofunctor is adjoint to itself, so the monoids of simplicial endomorphi…

By applying a variant of the TQFT constructed by Blanchet, Habegger, Masbaum, and Vogel, and using a construction of Ohtsuki, we define a module endomorphism for each knot K by using a tangle obtained from a surgery presentation of K. We show that it is strong shift equivalent to the Turaev-Viro endomorphism associated…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the 1-jet of a field of nilpotent endomorphisms to be integrable. Together with the well known corresponding condition for an almost complex structure, the nullity of its Nijenhuis tensor, this gives an integrability condition for any field of endomorphisms.

Counterexample found to estimate for skew-symmetric tensors.

We classify the connected pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature $(p,q)$ with $q\ge5$ so that at each point of $M$ the skew-symmetric curvature operator has constant rank 2 and constant Jordan normal form on the set of spacelike 2 planes and so that the skew-symmetric curvature operator is not nilpotent for at least …

Novel ternary structures reveal new interpretations of linear connections.

We prove that the outer automorphism group $Out(G)$ is residually finite when the group $G$ is virtually compact special (in the sense of Haglund and Wise) or when $G$ is isomorphic to the fundamental group of some compact $3$-manifold. To prove these results we characterize commensurating endomorphisms of acylindrical…

We prove that every endomorphism of the mapping class group of an orientable surface onto a subgroup of finite index is in fact an automorphism.

We prove a Berger-type theorem which asserts that if the orthogonal subgroup generated by the torsion tensor (pulled back to a point by parallel transport) of a metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion is not transitive on the sphere, then the space must be locally isometric to a Lie group with a bi-invariant metr…

We study almost Hermitian structures admitting a Hermitian connexion with totally skew-symmetric torsion or equivalently, those almost Hermitian structures with totally skew-symmetric Nijenhuis tensor. We investigate up to what extent the Nijenhuis tensor fails to be parallel with respect to the characteristic connexio…

For any triple $(M^n, g, \nabla)$ consisting of a Riemannian manifold and a metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion we introduce an elliptic, second order operator $Ω$ acting on spinor fields. In case of a reductive space and its canonical connection our construction yields the Casimir operator of the isometry gr…

Classifies 7D manifolds with specific geometric properties.

In the present work we consider an almost complex manifold with Norden metric (i.e. a metric with respect to which the almost complex structure is an antiisometry). On such a manifold we study a linear connection preserving the almost complex structure and the metric and having a totally skew-symmetric torsion tensor. …

We investigate the connections between the differential-geometric properties of the exponential map from the space of real skew symmetric matrices onto the group of real special orthogonal matrices and the manifold of real orthogonal matrices equipped with the Riemannian structure induced by the Frobenius metric.
