We show that if $n$ functionally independent commutative quadratic in momenta integrals for the geodesic flow of a Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian metric on an $n$-dimensional manifold are simultaneously diagonalisable at the tangent space…

The third del Pezzo surface admits a unique Kaehler-Einstein metric, which is not known in closed form. The manifold's toric structure reduces the Einstein equation to a single Monge-Ampere equation in two real dimensions. We numerically…

In this paper we study the behavior of geodesics on cones over arbitrary $C^3$-smooth closed Riemannian manifolds. We show that the geodesic flow on such cones admits first integrals whose values uniquely determine almost all geodesics…

In this work we illustrate some well-known facts about the evolution of $S^3$ under the Ricci flow. The Dirac flow we introduce allows us to describe the 4- dimensional metrics with constant curvature. Another new flow leads to the…

Most known four-dimensional cohomogeneity-one Einstein metrics are diagonal in the basis defined by the left-invariant one-forms, though some essentially non-diagonal ones are known. We consider the problem of explicitly seeking…

This book gives an introduction to fundamental aspects of generalized Riemannian, complex, and K\"ahler geometry. This leads to an extension of the classical Einstein-Hilbert action, which yields natural extensions of Einstein and…

Weyl derivatives, Weyl-Lie derivatives and conformal submersions are defined, then used to generalize the Jones-Tod correspondence between selfdual 4-manifolds with symmetry and Einstein-Weyl 3-manifolds with an abelian monopole. In this…

In this article, we consider Einstein-type manifolds with boundary which generalizes important geometric equations, like static vacuum and static perfect fluid. We investigate some geometric inequalities for those manifolds. Then, we…

In the present paper we prove, that if the geodesic flow of a metric G on the torus T is quadratically integrable, then the torus T isometrically covers a torus with a Liouville metric on it, and describe the set of quadratically integrable…

It is believed that soon after the Planck time, Einstein's general relativity theory should be corrected to an effective quadratic theory. Numerical solutions for the anisotropic generalization of the Friedmann "flat" model $E^3$ for this…

The aim of the present work is twofold: first, we show how all the $n$-dimensional Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics can be constructed from a certain class of systems of second-order PDE's which are in duality to the Hamilton-Jacobi…

We construct Riemannian manifolds with completely integrable geodesic flows, in particular various nonhomogeneous examples. The methods employed are a modification of Thimm's method, Riemannian submersions and connected sums.

In this paper we prove that given a smoothly conformally compact metric there is a short-time solution to the Ricci flow that remains smoothly conformally compact. We adapt recent results of Schn\"urer, Schulze and Simon to prove a…

In this paper we construct a new class of surfaces whose geodesic flow is integrable (in the sense of Liouville). We do so by generalizing the notion of tubes about curves to 3-dimensional manifolds, and using Jacobi fields we derive…

In this expository article we review the problem of finding Einstein metrics on compact K\"ahler manifolds and Sasaki manifolds. In the former half of this article we see that, in the K\"ahler case, the problem fits better with the notion…

In this work we give a detailed description of Matthias G\"unther's proof of the Isometric Embedding Theorem of Riemannian manifolds. Subsequently we will use this method to show that it is possible to construct an isometric embedding of a…

In this paper we study the geodesic flow on nilmanifolds equipped with a left-invariant metric. We write the underlying definitions and find general formulas for the Poisson involution. As an example we develop the Heisenberg Lie group…

We prove the upper semicontinuity of the measure theoretic entropy for the geodesic flow on complete Riemannian manifolds without focal points and bounded sectional curvature. We then study the relationship between the escape of mass…

We study the geodesic flow on the normal line congruence of a minimal surface in ${\Bbb{R}}^3$ induced by the neutral K\"ahler metric on the space of oriented lines. The metric is lorentz with isolated degenerate points and the flow is…

We find obstructions to the existence of Einstein metrics of non-negative sectional curvature on a smooth closed simply connected manifold of any dimension. The results are achieved by combining the classical Morse theory of the loop space…
