Generalized Robertson-Walker (GRW) spaces constitute a quite important family in Lorentzian geometry, and it is an interesting question to know whether a Lorentzian manifold can be decomposed in such a way. It is well known that the…

In order to look for a well-behaved counterpart to Dolbeault cohomology in D-complex geometry, we study the de Rham cohomology of an almost D-complex manifold and its subgroups made up of the classes admitting invariant, respectively…

A similarity structure on a connected manifold M is a Riemannian metric on its universal cover such that the fundamental group of M acts by similarities. If the manifold M is compact, we show that the universal cover admits a de Rham…

We prove that singular Riemannian foliations in Euclidean spheres can be defined by polynomial equations.

A family of naturally reductive pseudo-Riemannian spaces is constructed out of the representations of Lie algebras with ad-invariant metrics. We exhibit peculiar examples, study their geometry and characterize the corresponding naturally…

We study curvature invariants of a sub-Riemannian manifold (i.e., a manifold with a Riemannian metric on a non-holonomic distribution) related to mutual curvature of several pairwise orthogonal subspaces of the distribution, and prove…

Ruan-Tian deformations of the Cauchy-Riemann operator enable a geometric definition of (standard) Gromov-Witten invariants of semi-positive symplectic manifolds in arbitrary genera. We describe an analogue of these deformations compatible…

The subject of this paper is six-dimensional nearly (para-)K\"ahler geometry with pseudo-Riemannian metrics. Firstly, we derive the analogue of the well-known exterior differential system characterising a nearly K\"ahler manifold and prove…

We study the partition function of N=1 supersymmetric De Rham quantum mechanics on a Riemannian manifold, with a nontrivial chemical potential $\mu$ for the fermions. General arguments suggest that when $\mu \to \infty$ we should get the…

We study the regularity and branching of strictly abnormal minimizing geodesics in sub-Riemannian geometry. We construct examples of real-analytic sub-Riemannian manifolds admitting minimizing geodesics that lose regularity at an interior…

In the present article the geometry of semi-Riemannian manifolds with nonholonomic constraints is studied. These manifolds can be considered as analogues to the sub-Riemannian manifolds, where the positively definite metric is substituted…

This paper extends de Rham theory of smooth manifolds to exploded manifolds. Included are versions of Stokes' theorem, De Rham cohomology, Poincare duality, and integration along the fiber. The resulting cohomology theory is used to define…

We give an explicit Singular Value Decomposition of the sub-Riemannian X-ray transform on the Heisenberg group with compact center. By studying the singular values, we obtain a two-radius theorem for integrals over sub-Riemannian geodesics.…

Normally one assumes isolated surface singularities to be normal. The purpose of this paper is to show that it can be useful to look at nonnormal singularities. By deforming them interesting normal singularities can be constructed, such as…

This paper introduces a notion of decompositions of integral varifolds into countably many integral varifolds, and the existence of such decomposition of integral varifolds whose first variation is representable by integration is…

In this paper we study the structure of the manifold of solitary waves in some deformations of SO(2) symmetric two-component scalar field theoretical models in two-dimensional Minkowski space. The deformation is chosen in order to make the…
