As a generalization of anti-invariant Riemannian submersions and Lagrangian Riemannian submersions, we introduce the notions of h-anti-invariant submersions and h-Lagrangian submersions from almost quaternionic Hermitian manifolds onto…

We derive the complete supergravity description of the N=2 scalar potential which realizes a generic flux-compactification on a Calabi-Yau manifold (generalized geometry). The effective potential V_{eff}=V_{(\partial_Z V=0)}$, obtained by…

Kahler manifolds have a natural hyperkahler structure associated with (part of) their cotangent bundles. Using projective superspace, we construct four-dimensional N = 2 models on the tangent bundles of some classical Hermitian symmetric…

Using a new manner to rescale fields in $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauged supergravity with n$_{V}$ vector multiplets and n$_{H}$ hypermultiplets, we develop the explicit derivation of the rigid limit of quaternionic isometry Ward identities agreeing…

We consider holomorphic mappings $H$ between a smooth real hypersurface $M\subset \bC^{n+1}$ and another $M'\subset \bC^{N+1}$ with $N\geq n$. We provide conditions guaranteeing that $H$ is transversal to $M'$ along all of $M$. In the…

We study Kaehlerian manifolds with Norden metric $g$ and develop the theory of their holomorphic hypersurfaces with constant totally real sectional curvatures. We prove a classification theorem for the holomorphic hypersurfaces of…

Let $(X,L_{X})$ be an $n$-dimensional polarized manifold. Let $D$ be a smooth hypersurface defined by a holomorphic section of $L_{X}$. In this paper, we study the existence of a complete scalar-flat K\"{a}hler metric on $X \setminus D$ on…

We show that a complete flat pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous manifold with non-abelian linear holonomy is of dimension at least 14. Due to an example constructed in a previous article by Oliver Baues and the author, this is a sharp bound.…

We prove that a closed negatively curved analytic Riemannian manifold that contains infinitely many totally geodesic hypersurfaces is isometric to an arithmetic hyperbolic manifold. Equivalently, any closed analytic Riemannian manifold with…

We show that a properly immersed minimal hypersurface in M x R_+ equals some M x {c} when M is a complete, recurrent n-dimensional Riemannian manifold with bounded curvature. If on the other hand, M has nonnegative Ricci curvature with…

We study complete scalar-flat Kahler manifolds with a Killing field and a mild asymptotic condition. We show that topological and geometric rigidities exist that powerfully restrict the manifold's behavior at infinity. We create a rough…

The scalars in vector multiplets of N=2 supersymmetric theories in 4 dimensions exhibit `special Kaehler geometry', related to duality symmetries, due to their coupling to the vectors. In the literature there is some confusion on the…

Half-supersymmetric geometries of N=2 five-dimensional gauged supergravity have recently been fully classified using spinorial geometry techniques. We use this classification to determine all possible regular half-supersymmetric…

The holonomy group $G$ of a pseudo-quaternionic-K\"ahlerian manifold of signature $(4r,4s)$ with non-zero scalar curvature is contained in $\Sp(1)\cdot\Sp(r,s)$ and it contains $\Sp(1)$. It is proved that either $G$ is irreducible, or $s=r$…

Topological euclidean gravity is built in eight dimensions for manifolds with $Spin(7) \subset SO(8)$ holonomy. In a previous work, we considered the construction of an eight-dimensional topological theory describing the graviton and one…

We prove that strong finite total curvature complete hypersurfaces of (n+1)-euclidean space are proper and diffeomorphic to a compact manifold minus finitely many points. With an additional condition, we also prove that the Gauss map of…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. This paper is concerned with the set of scalar-flat metrics which are in the conformal class of g and have the boundary as a constant mean curvature hypersurface. We prove that this…
