In this paper, we study a special type of compact Hermitian manifolds that are Strominger K\"ahler-like, or SKL for short. This condition means that the Strominger connection (also known as Bismut connection) is K\"ahler-like, in the sense…
On a complex manifold an Hermitian metric which is simultaneously SKT and balanced has to be necessarily K\"ahler. It has been conjectured that if a compact complex manifold (M,J) has an SKT metric and a balanced metric both compatible with…
We compute the (1,1)-Aeppli cohomology of compact simply-connected Lie groups. From this, we deduce that the Bismut flat metrics on the compact Bismut flat manifolds with finite fundamental group are globally stable for the pluriclosed…
Let (M, g) be a compact manifold endowed with a possibly singular Riemannian metric. The metric induces a norm on the homology of M , called the stable norm. We provide explicit computations of the stable norm of flat slit tori using the…
In the present work we find the Lie point symmetries of the Ricci flow on an $n$-dimensional manifold. and we introduce a method in order to reutilize these symmetries to obtain the Lie point symmetries of particular metrics. We apply this…
The prescribed Ricci curvature problem involves finding a Riemannian metric g that satisfies the equation ric(g) = T, where T is a fixed symmetric (0, 2)-tensor field on a differential manifold M. In this paper, we introduce the concept of…
We prove that the Ricci flow g(t) starting at any metric on the euclidean space that is invariant by a transitive nilpotent Lie group N, can be obtained by solving an ODE for a curve of nilpotent Lie brackets. By using that this ODE is the…
We study the Ricci flow of the four-parameter family of Sp(n+1)-invariant metrics on spheres. We determine their forward behaviour and also classify ancient solutions. In doing so, we exhibit a new one-parameter family of ancient solutions…
A manifold (M,I,J,K) is called hypercomplex if I,J,K are complex structures satisfying quaternionic relations. A quaternionic Hermitian metric is called HKT (hyperkaehler with torsion) if $Id\omega_I = Jd \omega_J=Kd\omega_K$, where…
We study Riemannian manifolds carrying a metric connection with parallel, skew-symmetric and closed torsion, which we call in short PSCT manifolds. We prove that PSCT manifolds always locally split into a product of well-understood factors,…
We study balanced Hermitian structures on almost abelian Lie algebras, i.e. on Lie algebras with a codimension-one abelian ideal. In particular, we classify six-dimensional almost abelian Lie algebras which carry a balanced structure. It…
We study the interplay between geometrically-Bott-Chern-formal metrics and SKT metrics. We prove that a $6$-dimensional nilmanifold endowed with a invariant complex structure admits an SKT metric if and only if it is…
In our previous work, we introduced a special type of Hermitian metrics called {\em torsion-critical,} which are non-K\"ahler critical points of the $L^2$-norm of Chern torsion over the space of all Hermitian metrics with unit volume on a…
It has been conjectured by Fino and Vezzoni that a compact complex manifold admitting both a compatible SKT and a compatible balanced metric also admits a compatible K\"ahler metric. Using the shear construction and classification results…
The objective of the present paper is to study the $\eta$-Ricci solitons on Kenmotsu manifold with generalized symmetric metric connection of type $(\alpha,\beta)$. There are discussed Ricci and $\eta$-Ricci solitons with generalized…
We can talk about two kinds of stability of the Ricci flow at Ricci flat metrics. One of them is a linear stability, defined with respect to Perelman's functional $\mathcal{F}$. The other one is a dynamical stability and it refers to a…
Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $H$ a closed subgroup of $G$. Suppose the homogeneous space $G/H$ is effective and has dimension 3 or higher. Consider a $G$-invariant, symmetric, positive-semidefinite, nonzero (0,2)-tensor…
We study two natural problems concerning the scalar and the Ricci curvatures of the Bismut connection. Firstly, we study an analog of the Yamabe problem for Hermitian manifolds related to the Bismut scalar curvature, proving that, fixed a…
We develop the formalism for noncommutative differential geometry and Riemmannian geometry to take full account of the *-algebra structure on the (possibly noncommutative) coordinate ring and the bimodule structure on the differential…
When the maximal isometry group of a four-dimensional spacetime acts simply transitively, such a Ricci-flat metric is uniquely determined to be the Petrov solution. This isometry group is almost abelian; that is, its Lie algebra contains an…
