Given a metrically complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with smooth nonempty boundary and assuming that one of its curvatures is subject to a certain bound, we address the problem of whether it is possibile to realize $(M,g)$ as a domain…

Let $(M,g,J,\omega)$ be an almost K\"{a}hler manifold. For any smooth function $f$ on $M$, one can associate an automorphism $\psi\in \mbox{Aut}(TM)$ for which the K\"{a}hler form is invariant. Using $\psi$, one can ``twist" the metric $g$…

Let $(M_1,g_1)$ and $(M_2,g_2)$ be two $C^\infty$--differentiable connected, complete Riemannian manifolds, $k:M_1\to\mathbb R$ a $C^\infty$--differentiable function, having $0<k_0<k(x)\leq K_0$, for any $x\in M_1$ and $g:=g_1-kg_2$ the…

We formalize the ``metric bundle'' viewpoint by defining, for any smooth $n$--manifold $M$, the open fiberwise cones $\mathcal{G}^{p,q}\subset S^2\Tstar M$ of nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms with fixed signature $(p,q)$, and we…

A Riemannian metric on a manifold M induces a family of Riemannian metrics on the loop space LM depending on a Sobolev space parameter s. We compute the connection forms of these metrics and the higher symbols of their curvature forms,…

Let (M,g) be a compact, connected and oriented Riemannian manifold. We denote D the space of smooth probability density functions on M. In this paper, we show that the Frechet manifold D is equipped with a Riemannian metric g^{D} and an…

Consider a compact manifold $M$ with smooth boundary $\partial M$. Suppose that $g$ and $\tilde{g}$ are two Riemannian metrics on $M$. We construct a family of metrics on $M$ which agrees with $g$ outside a neighborhood of $\partial M$ and…

Advances in modern physics since Einstein have made the nonsymmetric metric (0,2)-tensor $G=g+F$, where $g$ is a pseudo-Riemannian metric associated with gravity, and $F\ne0$ is a skew-symmetric tensor associated with electromagnetism, more…

Let $F: T^{1,0}M\rightarrow[0,+\infty)$ be a strongly convex complex Finsler metric on a complex manifold $M$ and $\pmb{J}$ the canonical complex structure on the complex manifold $T^{1,0}M$. We give a geometric characterization of strongly…

We study aspects of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories on the product of a line and a Riemann surface. Performing a topological twist along the Riemann surface leads to an effective supersymmetric quantum mechanics on the…

In the present paper, we study an extended theory of statistical manifolds in application to affine differential geometry. Any smooth hypersurface $M \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with a transverse vector field $\xi$ naturally admits a…

Warped product manifolds with p-dimensional base, p=1,2, satisfy some curvature conditions of pseudosymmetry type. These conditions are formed from the metric tensor g, the Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor R, the Ricci tensor S and the…

We study semi-Riemannian submanifolds of arbitrary codimension in a Lie group $G$ equipped with a bi-invariant metric. In particular, we show that, if the normal bundle of $M \subset G$ is closed under the Lie bracket, then any normal…

We consider a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold M with two circulant structures -- a metric g and an endomorphism q whose third power is identity. The structure q is compatible with g such that an isometry is induced in any tangent space of…

For the Riemannian manifold $M^{n}$ two special connections on the sum of the tangent bundle $TM^{n}$ and the trivial one-dimensional bundle are constructed. These connections are flat if and only if the space $M^{n}$ has a constant…

We study the geometric properties of a $2m$-dimensional complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ admitting a holomorphic reduction of the frame bundle to the structure group $P \subset \mathrm{Spin}(2m,\mathbb{C})$, the stabiliser of the line spanned…

We continue the study of the question of when a pseudo-Riemannain manifold can be locally characterised by its scalar polynomial curvature invariants (constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives). We make further use…

Every open manifold L of dimension greater than one has complete Riemannian metrics g with bounded geometry such that (L,g) is not quasi-isometric to a leaf of a codimension one foliation of a closed manifold. Hence no conditions on the…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for some particular couples $(g,\nabla)$ of pseudo-Riemannian metrics and affine connections to be statistical structures if we have gradient almost Einstein, almost Ricci, almost Yamabe…
