In this work, a subclass of the generalized Kerr-Schild class of spacetimes is specified, with respect to which the Ricci tensor (regardless of the position of indices) proves to be linear in the so-called profile function of the geometry.…

We use a construction which we call generalized cylinders to give a new proof of the fundamental theorem of hypersurface theory. It has the advantage of being very simple and the result directly extends to semi-Riemannian manifolds and to…

The embedding of a manifold M into a Hilbert-space H induces, via the pull-back, a tensor field on M out of the Hermitian tensor on H. We propose a general procedure to compute these tensors in particular for manifolds admitting a Lie-group…

We construct a non-commutative analogue of the modular vector field on a Poisson manifold for a given pair of a double bracket and a connection on a space of 1-forms. The key ingredient, the triple divergence map, is directly constructed…

We review the construction of Galileon interactions involving a single two-column mixed-symmetry tensor of arbitrary degree in flat spacetime of arbitrary dimensions, in a reverse engineering spirit. By defining an appropriate Riemann-like…

We study a broad class of two dimensional gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs) with off-shell N=(2,2) supersymmetry that flow to nonlinear sigma models (NLSMs) on noncompact geometries with torsion. These models arise from coupling chiral,…

Dickson's commutative semifields are an important class of finite division algebras. We generalise Dickson's construction of commutative division algebras by doubling both finite field extensions and central simple algebras and not…

A Lie algebroid is a generalization of Lie algebra that provides a general framework to describe the symmetries of a manifold. In this paper, we introduce Lie algebroid index theory and study the Lie algebroid Dolbeault operator. We also…

The notion of Lie algebroids over a topological ringed space provides a unified framework to study various geometric structures. This geometric concept is intimately connected with well-known algebraic structures, including Gerstenhaber…

We study the triviality of the solutions of weighted superlinear heat equations on Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci tensor. We prove a Liouville--type theorem for solutions bounded from below with nonnegative initial data, under…

A vector field on a Riemannian manifold is called conformal Killing if it generates one-parameter group of conformal transformations. The class of conformal Killing symmetric tensor fields of an arbitrary rank is a natural generalization of…

Modeling distributions on Riemannian manifolds is a crucial component in understanding non-Euclidean data that arises, e.g., in physics and geology. The budding approaches in this space are limited by representational and computational…

In this paper we generalize the main notions from the geometry of (almost) contact manifolds in the category of Lie algebroids. Also, using the framework of generalized geometry, we obtain an (almost) contact Riemannian Lie algebroid…

Spatial noncommutativity is similar and can even be related to the non-Abelian nature of multiple D-branes. But they have so far seemed independent of each other. Reflecting this decoupling, the algebra of matrix valued fields on…

In this paper we study the computation of both algebraic and non-algebraic tensor functions under the tensor-tensor multiplication with linear maps. In the case of algebraic tensor functions, we prove that the asymptotic exponent of both…

We show how an affine connection on a Riemannian manifold occurs naturally as a cochain in the complex for Leibniz cohomology of vector fields with coefficients in the adjoint representation. The Leibniz coboundary of the Levi-Civita…

We construct the universal central extension of the Lie algebra of exact divergence-free vector fields, proving a conjecture by Claude Roger from 1995. The proof relies on the analysis of a Leibniz algebra that underlies these vector…

In this paper, we study and partially classify those Riemannian man-ifolds carrying a non-identically vanishing function f whose Hessian is minus f times the Ricci-tensor of the manifold.

These are lecture notes for a course on the theory of Clifford algebras, with special emphasis on their wide range of applications in mathematics and physics. Clifford algebra is introduced both through a conventional tensor algebra…

In this paper, we establish a suitable version of the Hahn-Banach theorem within the framework of Colombeau spaces, a class of spaces used to model generalized functions. Our approach addresses the case where maps are defined…
