A manifold is multisymplectic, or more specifically n-plectic, if it is equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential form of degree n+1. In our previous work with Baez and Hoffnung, we described how the `higher analogs' of the…

Multisymplectic geometry - which originates from the well known de Donder-Weyl theory - is a natural framework for the study of classical field theories. Recently, two algebraic structures have been put forward to encode a given theory…

For any semi-Riemannian manifold (M,g) we define some generalized curvature tensor as a linear combination of Kulkarni-Nomizu products formed by the metric tensor, the Ricci tensor and its square of given manifold. That tensor is closely…

In part I of this work we studied the spaces of real algebraic cycles on a complex projective space P(V), where V carries a real structure, and completely determined their homotopy type. We also extended some functors in K-theory to…

We discuss complex quaternionic manifolds, i.e., those that have holonomy $GL(n,\mathbb{H})U(1)$, which naturally arise via quaternionic Feix--Kaledin construction. We show that for a fixed c-projective class, any real analytic connection…

We explore the consequences of curvature and torsion on the topology of quaternionic contact manifolds with integrable vertical distribution. We prove a general Myers theorem and establish a Cartan-Hadamard result for almost qc-Einstein…

In this article we consider a version of the geography question for simply-connected symplectic 4-manifolds that takes into account the divisibility of the canonical class as an additional parameter. We also find new examples of 4-manifolds…

A generalized symmetry of a system of differential equations is an infinitesimal transformation depending locally upon the fields and their derivatives which carries solutions to solutions. We classify all generalized symmetries of the…

The construction of manifold structures and fundamental classes on the (compactified) moduli spaces appearing in Gromov-Witten theory is a long-standing problem. Up until recently, most successful approaches involved the imposition of…

The notion of a quaternionic gerbe is presented as a new way of bundling algebraic structures over a four manifold. The structure groupoid of this fibration is described in some detail. The Euclidean conformal group R*SO(4) appears…

This is the second paper of a series dedicated to the study of Poisson structures of compact types (PMCTs). In this paper, we focus on regular PMCTs, exhibiting a rich transverse geometry. We show that their leaf spaces are integral affine…

We find a principle of harmonic analyticity underlying the quaternionic (quaternion-K\"ahler) geometry and solve the differential constraints which define this geometry. To this end the original $4n$-dimensional quaternionic manifold is…

We introduce the notion of Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis manifolds generalizing the Poisson-Nijenhuis manifolds of Magri-Morosi. We also investigate the integration problem of Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis manifolds. In particular, we prove that, under…

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…

We study symplectic forms on hypersurface algebroids. These are a broad generalization of the $b^{k}$-Poisson structures studied extensively by Miranda, Scott, and collaborators, and their geometry is intimately related to the group of…

We introduce blow-up and blow-down operations for generalized complex 4-manifolds. Combining these with a surgery analogous to the logarithmic transform, we then construct generalized complex structures on nCP2 # m \bar{CP2} for n odd, a…

Starting from a real analytic conformal Cartan connection on a real analytic surface $S$, we construct a complex surface $T$ containing a family of pairs of projective lines. Using the structure on $S$ we also construct a complex $3$-space…

A representation of generalized Weierstrass formulae for an immersion of generic surfaces into a 4-dimensional complex space in terms of spinors treated as minimal left ideals of Clifford algebras is proposed. The relation between…

We show that all 6-dimensional nilmanifolds admit generalized complex structures. This includes the five classes of nilmanifold which admit no known complex or symplectic structure. Furthermore, we classify all 6-dimensional nilmanifolds…

We introduce hyperelliptic simplified (more generally, directed) broken Lefschetz fibrations, which is a generalization of hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibrations. We construct involutions on the total spaces of such fibrations of genus $g\geq…
