We complete our recent classification of compact inner symmetric spaces with weakly complex tangent bundle by filling up a case which was left open, and extend this classification to the larger category of compact homogeneous spaces with…

We prove every oriented compact cyclic $3$-orbifold has a contact structure. There is another proof in the web by Daniel Herr in his uploaded thesis which depends on open book decompositions, ours is independent of that. We define…

We study Bott-Chern cohomology on compact complex non-K\"ahler surfaces. In particular, we compute such a cohomology for compact complex surfaces in class $\text{VII}$ and for compact complex surfaces diffeomorphic to solvmanifolds.

In this paper we give a partial affirmative answer to a conjecture of Greene-Wu and Yau. We prove that a complete noncompact K\"ahler surface with positive and bounded sectional curvature and with finite analytic Chern number $c_{1}(M)^{2}$…

We investigate compact Kahler manifolds, which are acted on by a semisimple compact Lie group G of isometries with one hypersurface orbit. In case of ordinary action and projectable complex structure, we set up a one to one correspondence…

The notion of 'slope rational connectedness' is introduced in the context of smooth orbifold pairs. The main result parallels the characterization of the rational connectedness of projective manifolds in terms of either the non-existence of…

We continue our study on Hermitian manifolds that are {\em Bismut torsion parallel,} or {\em BTP} for brevity, which means that the Bismut connection has parallel torsion tensor. For $n\geq 3$, BTP metrics can be balanced (and…

We exhibit a 3-manifold which admits no tight contact structure.

In this note, we propose an approach to the study of the analogue for unipotent harmonic bundles of Schmid's Nilpotent Orbit Theorem. Using this approach, we construct harmonic metrics on unipotent bundles over quasi-compact K\"ahler…

Beauville asked if a compact K\"ahler manifold with split tangent bundle has a universal covering that is a product of manifolds. We use Mori theory and elementary results about holomorphic foliations to study this problem for projective…

In this note, we consider contractible loops of contactomorphisms that are positive over some non-empty closed subset of a contact manifold. Such closed subsets are called immaterial. We argue that the complement of a Reeb-invariant…

We classify compact surfaces with torsion-free affine connections for which every geodesic is a simple closed curve. In the process, we obtain completely new proofs of all the major results concerning the Riemannian case. In contrast to…

We investigate whether non-metrizable manifolds in various classes can be homotopy equivalent to a CW-complex (in short: heCWc), and in particular contractible. We show that a non-metrizable manifold cannot be heCWc if it has one of the…

We study integrability of generalized almost contact structures, and find conditions under which the main associated maximal isotropic vector bundles form Lie bialgebroids. These conditions differentiate the concept of generalized contact…

We study holomorphic 2-forms on projective (or compact Kaehler) threefolds not of general type and prove that in almost all cases the 2-form is created by some standard process. This means roughly that every 2-form is induced by a…

For complete complex connections on almost complex manifolds we introduce a natural definition of compactification. This is based on almost c--projective geometry, which is the almost complex analogue of projective differential geometry.…

We follow our study of non-K\"ahler complex structures on $R^4$ that we defined in a previous paper. We prove that these complex surfaces do not admit any smooth complex compactification. Moreover, we give an explicit description of their…

Let $M$ be a $3$-manifold with connected non-vacuos boundary which is not spherical. Assume that $N$ is another $3$-manifold with vacuous boundary and $N^{\ast}$ is the $3$-manifold obtained by removing from $N$ the interior of a $3$-cell.…

For a quasi-compact K\"ahler manifold $U$ endowed with a nilpotent harmonic bundle whose Higgs field is injective at one point, we prove that $U$ is pseudo-algebraically hyperbolic, pseudo-Picard hyperbolic, and is of log general type.…

Essential $\aleph_0$-categoricity; i.e., $\aleph_0$-categoricity in some full countable language, is shown to be a robust notion for strongly minimal compact complex manifolds. Characterisations of triviality and essential…
