We give a procedure for constructing an $8n$-dimensional HKT Lie algebra starting from a $4n$-dimensional one by using a quaternionic representation of the latter. The strong (respectively, weak, hyper-K\"ahler, balanced) condition is…

A Hermitian-symplectic metric is a Hermitian metric whose K\"ahler form is given by the $(1,1)$-part of a closed $2$-form. Streets-Tian Conjecture states that a compact complex manifold admitting a Hermitian-symplectic metric must be…

We study the existence of strong K\"ahler with torsion (SKT) metrics and of symplectic forms taming invariant complex structures $J$ on solvmanifolds $G/\Gamma$ providing some negative results for some classes of solvmanifolds. In…

Let (M,I) be a compact Kaehler manifold admitting a hypercomplex structure. We show that (M, I) admits a natural HKT-metric. This is used to construct a holomorphic symplectic form on (M,I).

We study nilpotent Lie algebras endowed with a complex structure and a quadratic structure which is pseudo-Hermitian for the given complex structure. We propose several methods to construct such Lie algebras and describe a method of double…

We present two constructions of complex symplectic structures on Lie algebras with large abelian ideals. In particular, we completely classify complex symplectic structures on almost abelian Lie algebras. By considering compact quotients of…

Oeljeklaus-Toma (OT) manifolds are higher dimensional analogues of Inoue-Bombieri surfaces and their construction is associated to a finite extension $K$ of $Q$ and a subgroup of units $U$. We characterize the existence of pluriclosed…

Let M be a hypercomplex Hermitian manifold, (M,I) the same manifold considered as a complex Hermitian with a complex structure I induced by the quaternions. The standard linear-algebraic construction produces a canonical nowhere degenerate…

Let (J,g) be a Hermitian structure on a compact nilmanifold M with invariant complex structure J and compatible metric g, which is not required to be invariant. We give classifications of 6-dimensional nilmanifolds M admitting strong…

Under some suitable assumptions Riemannian manifolds $(M, g, H)$ that admit a connection $\hat\nabla$ with torsion a 3-form $H$, which is both closed $d H=0$ and $\hat\nabla$-covariantly constant, are locally isometric to a product $N\times…

We study the structure of Lie groups admitting left invariant abelian complex structures in terms of commutative associative algebras. If, in addition, the Lie group is equipped with a left invariant Hermitian structure, it turns out that…

We consider and resolve the gap problem for almost quaternion-Hermitian structures, i.e. we determine the maximal and submaximal symmetry dimensions, both for Lie algebras and Lie groups, in the class of almost quaternion-Hermitian…

We study the existence of three classes of Hermitian metrics on certain types of compact complex manifolds. More precisely, we consider balanced, SKT and astheno-K\"ahler metrics. We prove that the twistor spaces of compact hyperk\"ahler…

We study HKT structures on nilpotent Lie groups and on associated nilmanifolds. We exhibit three weak HKT structures on $\R^8$ which are homogeneous with respect to extensions of Heisenberg type Lie groups. The corresponding hypercomplex…

In this article, we examine the behavior of the Riemannian and Hermitian curvature tensors of a Hermitian metric, when one of the curvature tensors obeys all the symmetry conditions of the curvature tensor of a K\"ahler metric. We will call…

Integrable hypercomplex structures with Hermitian and Norden metrics on Lie groups of dimension 4 are considered. The corresponding five types of invariant hypercomplex structures with hyper-Hermitian metric, studied by M.L. Barberis, are…

In 1976, Milnor classified all Lie groups admitting a flat left-invariant metric. They form a special type of unimodular 2-step solvable groups. Considering Lie groups with Hermitian structure, namely, a left-invariant complex structure and…

Four dimensional simply connected Lie groups admitting a pseudo K\"ahler metric are determined. The corresponding Lie algebras are modelized and the compatible pairs $(J,\omega)$ are parametrized up to complex isomorphism (where $J$ is a…
