In this text we combine the notions of supergeometry and supersymmetry. We construct a special class of supermanifolds whose reduced manifolds are (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds. These supermanifolds allow us to treat vector fields on the…

A vector field on a Riemannian manifold is called conformal Killing if it generates one-parameter group of conformal transformations. The class of conformal Killing symmetric tensor fields of an arbitrary rank is a natural generalization of…

We revisit the problem of extension of a Killing vector field in a spacetime which is solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equation. This extension has been proved to be unique in the case of a Killing vector field which is normal to a…

The harmonic action functional allows a natural generalisation to semi-Riemannian supergeometry, referred to as superharmonic action, which resembles the supersymmetric sigma models studied in high energy physics. We show that Killing…

Let $M$ be a Hadamard manifold with curvature bounded above by a negative constant $-\alpha$, satisfying the "strict convexity condition", and assume that $M$ admits a "helicoidal" one-parameter subgroup $G$ of isometries of $M$. Then,…

A vector field $V$ on any (semi-)Riemannian manifold is said to be mixed Killing if for some nonzero smooth function $f$, it satisfies $L_VL_Vg=fL_Vg$, where $L_V$ is the Lie derivative along $V$. This class of vector fields, as a…

We prove that a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ does not admit any non-trivial $m$-modified homothetic vector fields. In the corresponding case of an $m$-modified conformal vector field $V$, we establish an inequality that implies the…
