The characteristic connection of an almost hermitian structure is a hermitian connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion. The case of parallel torsion in dimension six is of particular interest. In this work, we give a full…
We argue that conformal invariance in flat spacetime implies Weyl invariance in a general curved background metric for all unitary theories in spacetime dimensions $d \leq 10$. We also study possible curvature corrections to the Weyl…
We study the algebraic dimension a(X) of a compact hyperkaehler manfold of dimension 2n. We show that a(X) is at most n unless X is projective. If a compact Kaehler manifold with algebraic dimension 0 and Kodaira dimension 0 has a minimal…
We prove that a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\ge 8$ with harmonic Weyl curvature and $\frac{3(n-1)(n+2)}{4(3n-1)}$-nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind is either globally conformally equivalent to a space of…
It is proved that if an almost K\"ahler manifold of dimension greater or equal to 8 is of pointwise constant antiholomorphic sectional curvature, then it is a complex space form.
We address the study of some curvature equations for distinguished submanifolds in para-K\"ahler geometry. We first observe that a para-complex submanifold of a para-K\"ahler manifold is minimal. Next we describe the extrinsic geometry of…
We give a characterization of the $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras whose corresponding Lie groups admit a left invariant complex structure. This is done by considering separately the cases when the complex structure is 2-step or 3-step…
A special class of (complex) para-Hermite Einstein spaces is analyzed. It is well-known that the self-dual Weyl tensor in para-Hermite Einstein spaces is of the Petrov-Penrose type [D]. In what follows we assume that the anti-self-dual Weyl…
We review the relation between 4n-dimensional quaternion-Kahler metrics with n+1 abelian isometries and superconformal theories of n+1 tensor supermultiplets. As an application we construct the class of eight-dimensional quaternion-Kahler…
The study of projectively equivalent metrics, i.e., metrics sharing the same unparametrized geodesics, is a classical and well-established area of investigation. In the Kaehler context, such branch of research goes by the name of…
We introduce a new family of operators in 4-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with a non-vanishing Weyl scalar (non-degenerate spaces) that keep the conformal covariance of \emph{conformally covariant tensor concomitants}. A…
We study the moduli space of quaternionic Kaehler structures on a compact manifold of dimension 4n (n>2) from a point of view of Riemannian geometry, not twistor theory. Then we obtain a rigidity theorem for quaternionic Kaehler structures…
We propose a notion of a ternary skew-symmetric covariant tensor of 3rd order, consider it as a 3-dimensional matrix and study a ten-dimensional complex space of these tensors. We split this space into a direct sum of two five-dimensional…
We classify six-dimensional homogeneous nearly K\"{a}hler manifolds and give a positive answer to Gray and Wolf's conjecture: every homogeneous nearly K\"{a}hler manifold is a Riemannian 3-symmetric space equipped with its canonical almost…
The difference tensor R.C-C.R of a semi-Riemannian manifold (M,g), dim M > 3, formed by its Riemannian-Christoffel curvature tensor R and the Weyl conformal curvature tensor C, under some assumptions, can be expressed as a linear…
We study Lie algebras admitting para-K\"ahler and hyper-para-K\"ahler structures. We give new characterizations of these Lie algebras and we develop many methods to build large classes of examples. Bai considered para-K\"ahler Lie algebras…
A nilmanifold is a (left) quotient of a nilpotent Lie group by a cocompact lattice. A hypercomplex structure on a manifold is a triple of complex structure operators satisfying the quaternionic relations. A hypercomplex nilmanifold is a…
Connections with (skew-symmetric) torsion on non-symmetric Riemannian manifold satisfying the Einstein metricity condition (NGT with torsion) are considered. It is shown that an almost Hermitian manifold is an NGT with torsion if and only…
Nearly K\"{a}hler and K\"{a}hler-Codazzi type manifolds are defined in a very similar way. We prove that nearly K\"{a}hler type manifolds have sense just in Hermitian and para-Hermitian contexts, and that K\"{a}hler-Codazzi type manifolds…
We analyze the structure of the set of limiting Carleman weights in all conformally flat manifolds, 3-manifolds, and 4-manifolds. In particular we give a new proof of the classification of Euclidean limiting Carleman weights, and show that…
