In this paper, we establish some compactness results of conformally compact Einstein metrics on $4$-dimensional manifolds. Our results were proved under assumptions on the behavior of some local and non-local conformal invariants, on the…
We present an overview of recent results in locally conformally K\"ahler geometry, with focus on the topological properties which obstruct the existence of such structures on compact manifolds.
In the lecture notes, the author will survey the development of conformal geometry on four dimensional manifolds. The topic she chooses is one on which she has been involved in the past twenty or more years: the study of the integral…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a Riemannian four-dimensional manifold $(M, g)$ with anti-self-dual Weyl tensor to be locally conformal to a Ricci--flat manifold. These conditions are expressed as the vanishing of scalar and…
We construct a rational homotopy-theoretic model for a classifying space of locally conformally symplectic structures on four-manifolds, and use it to definition a cobordism category of three-manifolds `anchored' by principal $\Omega^2 S^2$…
We prove that compact non-flat manifolds with constant sectional curvature admit no conformal product structure. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the methods extend naturally to irreducible, compact locally symmetric spaces of non-positive…
We study in this work flat surfaces with conical singularities, that is, surfaces provided with a flat structure with conical singular points. Finding good parameters for these surfaces in the general case is an open question. We give an…
The last years have seen striking improvements on Vaisman's question about existence of locally conformally K\"ahler (lcK) metrics on compact complex surfaces. The aim of this paper is two-fold. We review results of different authors which,…
In this paper we study $F$-manifolds equipped with multiple flat connections (and multiple $F$-products), that are required to be compatible in a suitable sense. In the semisimple case we show that a necessary condition for the existence of…
This paper is based on the author's talk at 1997 Taniguchi Symposium ``Integrable Systems and Algebraic Geometry''. We consider an approach to the theory of Frobenius manifolds based on the geometry of flat pencils of contravariant metrics.…
In this paper we study relations between various natural structures on F-manifolds. In particular, given an arbitrary Riemannian F-manifold we present a construction of a canonical flat F-manifold associated to it. We also describe a…
A classification theorem for 4-dimensional conformally flat QK3-manifolds is proved.
We present a reduction procedure for locally conformally symplectic (LCS) manifolds with an action of a Lie group preserving the conformal structure, with respect to any regular value of the momentum mapping. Under certain conditions, this…
The goal of this paper is to study the stability of pure nilpotent structures on a manifold associated to different collapsed metrics. We prove that if two metrics on a $n$-manifold of bounded sectional curvature are $L_0$-bi-Lipchitz…
In conformal field theory (CFT) on simply connected domains of the Riemann sphere, the natural conformal symmetries under self-maps are extended, in a certain way, to local symmetries under general conformal maps, and this is at the basis…
We study Lie algebras of type I, that is, a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ where all the eigenvalues of the operator ad$_X$ are imaginary for all $X\in \mathfrak{g}$. We prove that the Morse-Novikov cohomology of a Lie algebra of type I is…
On an almost complex manifold $(M,J)$, a pluricanonical locally conformally almost K\"ahler (LCAK) metric $g$ is induced by a locally conformally symplectic structure $(F,\theta)$ of the first kind, characterized by the fact that $D\theta$…
Given a Finslerian metric $F$ on a $C^4$-manifold, conformal deformations of $F$ preserving the $R$-Einstein criterion are presented. In particular, locally conformal invariance between two Finslerian $R$-Einstein metrics is characterized.
We characterize compact locally conformal parallel $G_2$ (respectively, $Spin(7)$) manifolds as fiber bundles over $S^1$ with compact nearly K\"ahler (respectively, compact nearly parallel $G_2$) fiber. A more specific characterization is…
We introduce the concept of a Clifford-Weyl structure on a conformal manifold, which consists of an even Clifford structure parallel with respect to the tensor product of a metric connection on the Clifford bundle and a Weyl structure on…
