We give the global mathematical formulation of a class of generalized four-dimensional theories of gravity coupled to scalar matter and to Abelian gauge fields. In such theories, the scalar fields are described by a section of a surjective…

In this paper we study the spectrum of all conformal, ${\cal N}$-extended supergravities (${\cal N}=1,2,3,4$) in four space-time dimensions. When these theories are obtained as massless limit of Einstein plus Weyl$^2$supergravity, the…
The objective of the paper is to investigate a sequential study of different generalizations of semisymmetric and pseudosymmetric manifolds with their proper existence by several spacetimes. In the literature of differential geometry, there…
General $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supergravity-matter systems in six dimensions may be described using one of the two fully fledged superspace formulations for conformal supergravity: (i) $\mathsf{SU}(2)$ superspace; and (ii) conformal…
This text is dedicated to the real Killing equation on 3-dimensional Weyl manifolds. Any manifold admitting a real Killing spinor of weight 0 satisfies the conditions of a Gauduchon-Tod geometry. Conversely, any simply connected…
In this paper we derive a differential identity for linearized gravity on the Kerr spacetime and more generally on vacuum spacetimes of Petrov type D. We show that a linear combination of second derivatives of the linearized Weyl tensor can…
We show how to lift solutions of Euclidean Einstein-Maxwell equations with non-zero cosmological constant to solutions of eleven-dimensional supergravity theory with non-zero fluxes. This yields a class of 11D metrics given in terms of…
As is well known, both Weyl and Weitzenb\"ock spacetimes were initially used as attempts to geometrize the electromagnetic field. In this letter, we prove that this field can also be regarded as a geometrical quantity in an extended version…
A conservative extension of general relativity by integrable Weyl geometry is formulated, and a new class of cosmological models ({\em Weyl universes}) is introduced and studied. A short discussion of how these new models behave in the…
