We first notice in this article that if a compact K\"{a}hler manifold has the same integral cohomology ring and Pontrjagin classes as the complex projective space $\mathbb{C}P^n$, then it is biholomorphic to $\mathbb{C}P^n$ provided $n$ is…

We classify indefinite simply connected hyper-Kaehler symmetric spaces. Any such space without flat factor has commutative holonomy group and signature (4m,4m). We establish a natural 1-1 correspondence between simply connected…

For $n\geq 1$, let $\rho_n$ denote the standard action of $GL_2(\Z)$ on the space $P_n(\Z)\simeq\Z^{n+1}$ of homogeneous polynomials of degree $n$ in two variables, with integer coefficients. For $G$ a non-amenable subgroup of $GL_2(\Z)$,…

We construct homogeneous flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with non-abelian fundamental group. In the compact case, all homogeneous flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds are complete and have abelian linear holonomy group. To the contrary, we…

For every N > 0 there exists a group of deficiency less than -N that arises as the fundamental group of a smooth homology 4-sphere and also as the fundamental group of the complement of a compact contractible submanifold of the 4-sphere. A…

We investigate several classes of submanifolds of almost quaternionic skew-Hermitian manifolds $(M^{4n}, Q, \omega)$, including almost symplectic, almost complex, almost pseudo-Hermitian and almost quaternionic submanifolds. In the…

Let $G$ be a Lie group and $H$ be a subgroup of it. We can construct a bisimplicial manifold $NG(*) \rtimes NH(*)$ and the de Rham complex $\Omega^*(NG(*) \rtimes NH(*))$ on it. This complex is a triple complex and the cohomology of its…

The loop space $L\mathbb{P}^n$ of the complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ consisting of all $C^k$ or Sobolev $W^{k, \, p}$ maps $S^1 \to \mathbb{P}^n$ is an infinite dimensional complex manifold. We identify a class of holomorphic…

Let H:(M,p)->(M',p') be a formal mapping between two germs of real-analytic generic submanifolds in C^N with nonvanishing Jacobian. Assuming M to be minimal at p and M' holomorphically nondegenerate at p', we prove the convergence of the…

Positive Quaternion Kaehler Manifolds are Riemannian manifolds with holonomy contained in Sp(n)Sp(1) and with positive scalar curvature. Conjecturally, they are symmetric spaces. We prove this conjecture in dimension 20 under additional…

In this paper, we compute the rational homotopy type of the quaternionic projective bundle $P(\tau): \mathbb{H}P^{n-1} \rightarrow P(E) \rightarrow M$ obtain from the quaternionic tangent bundle $\tau: \mathbb{H}^{n} \rightarrow E…

We show that a rational holonomy representation of any flat manifold except torus must have at least two non-equivalent irreducible subrepresentations. As an application we show that if a K\"ahler flat manifold is not a torus then its…

The string coupling of N=2 supersymmetric compactifications of type II string theory on a Calabi-Yau manifold belongs to the so-called universal dilaton hypermultiplet, that has four real scalars living on a quaternion-Kaehler manifold.…

Let $M^{4n}$ be a complete quaternionic K\"ahler manifold with scalar curvature bounded below by $-16n(n+2)$. We get a sharp estimate for the first eigenvalue $\lambda_1(M)$ of the Laplacian which is $\lambda_1(M)\le (2n+1)^2$. If the…

The complement of the hyperplanes $\{x_i=x_j\}$, for all $i\neq j$ in $M^n$, for $M$ an aspherical $2$-manifold, is known to be aspherical. Here we consider the situation, when $M$ is a $2$-dimensional orbifold. We prove this complement to…

We study the normal holonomy group, i.e. the holonomy group of the normal connection, of a CR-submanifold of a complex space form. We complete the local classification of normal holonomies for complex submanifolds. We show that the normal…

We prove that every locally conformally flat metric on a closed, oriented hyperbolic 4-manifold with scalar curvature bounded below by -12 satisfies Schoen's conjecture. We also classify all closed Riemannian 4-manifolds of positive scalar…

In this paper we study the structure of complex points of codimension 2 real submanifolds in complex $n$ dimensional manifolds. We show that the local structure of a complex point up to isotopy only depends on their type (either elliptic or…
