If M is a smooth compact connected Riemannian manifold, let P(M) denote the Wasserstein space of probability measures on M. We describe a geometric construction of parallel transport of some tangent cones along geodesics in P(M). We show…

Let $M$ be a pseudo-Riemannian spin manifold of dimension $n$ and signature $s$ and denote by $N$ the rank of the real spinor bundle. We prove that $M$ is locally homogeneous if it admits more than ${3/4}N$ independent Killing spinors with…

We show geodesic completeness of certain compact locally symmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature $(2,n)$. Our model space $\mathbf{X}$ is a $1$-connected, indecomposable symmetric space of signature $(2,n)$, that admits a unique…

We prove the existence of compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor which are neither conformally flat nor locally symmetric, and represent all indefinite metric signatures in all dimensions $\,n\ge5$. Until now such…

By ECS manifolds one means pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of dimensions $\,n\ge4\,$ which have parallel Weyl tensor, but not for one of the two obvious reasons: conformal flatness or local symmetry. As shown by Roter [10, 2], they exist for…

A homogeneous Riemannian space $(M= G/H,g)$ is called a geodesic orbit space (shortly, GO-space) if any geodesic is an orbit of one-parameter subgroup of the isometry group $G$. We study the structure of compact GO-spaces and give some…

A submanifold of a Riemannian symmetric space is called parallel if its second fundamental form is a parallel section of the appropriate tensor bundle. We classify parallel submanifolds of the Grassmannian $\rmG^+_2(\R^{n+2})$ which…

A metric space M is homogeneous if every isometry between finite subsets extends to a surjective isometry defined on the whole space. We show that if M is an ultrametric space, it suffices that isometries defined on singletons extend, i.e…

In this paper we investigate the relationship between the existence of parallel semi-Riemannian metrics of a connection and the reducibility of the associated holonomy group. The question as to whether the holonomy group necessarily reduces…

In this paper, we establish a sufficient condition for a geodesic in a Riemannian manifold to be homogeneous, i.e. an orbit of an $1$-parameter isometry group. As an application of this result, we provide a new proof of the fact that every…

Type B 3-fold supersymmetry is a necessary and sufficient condition for a quantum Hamiltonian to admit three linearly independent local solutions in closed form. We show that any such a system is invariant under GL(3,C) homogeneous linear…

For k at least 2, we exhibit complete k-curvature homogeneous neutral signature pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not locally affine homogeneous (and hence not locally homogeneous). The curvature tensor of these manifolds is modeled on…

We study homogeneous Einstein metrics on indecomposable non-K\"ahlerian C-spaces, i.e. even-dimensional torus bundles $M=G/H$ with $\mathsf{rank} G>\mathsf{rank} H$ over flag manifolds $F=G/K$ of a compact simple Lie group $G$. Based on the…

A homogeneous Riemannian manifold $(M=G/K, g)$ is called a space with homogeneous geodesics or a $G$-g.o. space if every geodesic $\gamma (t)$ of $M$ is an orbit of a one-parameter subgroup of $G$, that is $\gamma(t) = \exp(tX)\cdot o$, for…
