The present note deals with the properties of metric connections $\nabla$ with vectorial torsion $V$ on semi-Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$. We show that the $\nabla$-curvature is symmetric if and only if $V^{\flat}$ is closed, and that…

It is shown that on a compact spin symmetric space with a K\"ahler or Quaternion-K\"ahler structure, the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator is linked to a ''{lowest}'' action of the holonomy, given by the fiberwise action on spinors of…
Suppose $M$ is a closed $n$-dimensional spin$^c$ manifold with spin$^c$ structure $\sigma$ and associated spin$^c$ line bundle $L$. If one fixes a Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$ and a connection $\nabla_L$ on $L$, the generalized scalar…
