We study generalized Killing spinors on the standard sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$, which turn out to be related to Lagrangian embeddings in the nearly K\"ahler manifold $S^3\times S^3$ and to great circle flows on $\mathbb{S}^3$. Using our methods…

We give an explicit formula for the quaternionic K\"ahler metrics obtained by the HK/QK correspondence. As an application, we give a new proof of the fact that the Ferrara-Sabharwal metric as well as its one-loop deformation is quaternionic…

Starting from a nonlinear realisation of eleven dimensional supergravity based on the group G11, whose generators appear as low level generators of E11, we present a super extended algebra, which leads to a covariant derivative of spinors…

Causal fermion systems and Riemannian fermion systems are proposed as a framework for describing non-smooth geometries. In particular, this framework provides a setting for spinors on singular spaces. The underlying topological structures…

For the description of space-time fermions, Dirac-K\"ahler fields (inhomogeneous differential forms) provide an interesting alternative to the Dirac spinor fields. In this paper we develop a similar concept within the symplectic geometry of…

This paper deals with rational curves and birational contractions on irreducible holomorphically symplectic manifold. We survey some recent results about minimal rational curves, their deformations, extremal rays associated with these…

This note provides an intrinsic construction of the Carrollian superplane $\Pi \mathbb{S}\simeq \mathbb{R}^{2|4}$ as a supermanifold generalisation of the Carrollian plane. Moving away from the $c\rightarrow 0$ limit of relativistic…

We classify compact K\"ahler surfaces with nonconstant Killing potentials such that all integral curves of their gradients are reparametrized geodesics.

Consider a compact K\"ahler manifold which either admits an extremal K\"ahler metric, or is a small deformation of such a manifold. We show that the blowup of the manifold at a point admits an extremal K\"ahler metric in K\"ahler classes…

Given an integral symplectic manifold, we construct a family of "coherent state" maps into complex projective space. The maps are built from sections of the tensor powers of a hermitian line bundle whose curvature is a multiple of the…

In this article we study compact K\"ahler manifolds $X$ admitting non-singular holomorphic vector fields with the aim of extending to this setting the classical birational classification of projective varieties with tangent vector fields.…

We consider warp compactifications of M-theory on 7-manifolds in the presence of 4-form fluxes and investigate the constraints imposed by supersymmetry. As long as the 7-manifold supports only one Killing spinor we infer from the Killing…

We describe the different classes of $\mathrm{Spin(7)}$ structures in terms of spinorial equations. We relate them to the spinorial description of $\mathrm{G}_2$ structures in some geometrical situations. Our approach enables us to analyze…

By analogy with associative and co-associative cases we introduce a class of three-dimensional non-orientable submanifolds, of almost $\mathrm{G}_2-$manifolds, modelled on planes lying in a special $\mathrm{G}_2-$orbit. An application of…

A pseudo-Riemannian Einstein manifold with a Killing spinor and Killing constant $\lambda$ induces on its nondegenerate hypersurfaces a pair of spinors $\phi,\psi$ and a symmetric tensor $A$, corresponding to the second fundamental form.…

We construct certain orbifold compactifications of the moduli stack of pointed stable curves over $\mathbb C$ and study their fundamental groups by means of their quantum representations. This enables to construct interesting K\"ahler…

We show that $3$-$(\alpha,\delta)$-Sasaki manifolds admit solutions of a certain new spinorial field equation (the $\mathcal{H}$-Killing equation) generalizing the well-known Killing spinors on $3$-Sasakian manifolds. These…

It is shown that the horizontal holonomy group of a K-contact sub-Riemannian manifold either coincides with the holonomy group of a Riemannian manifold, or it is a codimension-one normal subgroup of the later group. The question of…

In this paper we solve the problem of finding integrals of equations determining the Killing tensors on an $n$ -dimensional differentiable manifold $M$ endowed with an equiaffine $ SL(n, R) $ -structure and discuss possible applications of…
