We examine universal curvature identities for pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We determine the Euler-Lagrange equations associated to the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula and show that they are given solely in terms of curvature {and…

We show that any universal curvature identity which holds in the Riemannian setting extends naturally to the pseudo-Riemannian setting. Thus the Euh-Park-Sekigawa identity also holds for pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We study the…

Let $c$ be a characteristic form of degree $k$ which is defined on a Kaehler manifold of real dimension $m>2k$. Taking the inner product with the Kaehler form $\Omega^k$ gives a scalar invariant which can be considered as a generalized…

We give a formula for the Euler characteristic of a triangulated manifold of even dimension in terms of the numbers of even-dimensional faces only. The coefficients in this formula are universal (they do not depend on the dimension of the…

The variational properties of the scalar so--called ``Universal'' equations are reviewed and generalised. In particular, we note that contrary to earlier claims, each member of the Euler hierarchy may have an explicit field dependence. The…

We generalize Llarull's scalar curvature comparison to Riemannian manifolds admitting metric connections with parallel and alternating torsion and having a nonnegative curvature operator on 2-vectors. As a byproduct, we show that Euler…

If a real value invariant of compact combinatorial manifolds (with or without boundary) depends only on the number of simplices in each dimension on the manifold, then the invariant is completely determined by Euler characteristics of the…

Everyone knows that the Euler characteristic of a combinatorial manifold is given by the alternating sum of its numbers of simplices. It is shown that there are other linear combinations of the numbers of simplices which are combinatorial…

We study a system of equations on a compact complex manifold, that couples the scalar curvature of a Kaehler metric with a spectral function of a first-order deformation of the complex structure. The system comes from an…

We revisit Allendoerfer-Weil's formula for the Euler characteristic of embedded hypersurfaces in constant sectional curvature manifolds, first taking some time to re-prove it while demonstrating techniques of [2] and then applying it to…

The Euler characteristic is the only additive topological invariant for spaces of certain sort, in particular, for manifolds with some finiteness properties. A generalization of the notion of a manifold is the notion of a V-manifold. Here…

The Kaehler manifolds of quasi-constant holomorphic sectional curvatures are introduced as Kaehler manifolds with complex distribution of codimension two, whose holomorphic sectional curvature only depends on the corresponding point and the…

Given a compact Kaehler manifold, we consider the complement U of a divisor with normal crossings. We study the variety of unitary representations of the fundamental group of U with certain restrictions related to the divisor. We show that…

It is shown that the timelike, spacelike and null versions of the Ehlers identity, as well as ensuing Raychaudhuri equations, might be all derived within a single geometrical approach based on the definition of the Riemann curvature tensor…

Invariant Lagrangians yield invariant Euler-Lagrange equations, and it was discussed in the literature how to compute those using various local methods. The focus of this paper is on global algebraic differential invariants. In this case…

We use some basic properties of binomial and Stirling numbers to prove that the Euler characteristic is, essentially, the unique numerical topological invariant for compact polyhedra which can be expressed as a linear combination of the…

An unusual formula for the Euler characteristics of even dimensional triangulated manifolds is deduced from the generalized Dehn-Sommerville equations.

In this manuscript we study natural symmetries of Kaehler manifolds: constant holomorphic sectional curvature Kaheler manifolds, semisymmetric Kaehler manifolds and holomorphically pseudosymmetric Kaehler manifolds. We get characterization…

In every point of a K\"ahler manifold there exist special holomorphic coordinates well adapted to the underlying geometry. Comparing these K\"ahler normal coordinates with the Riemannian normal coordinates defined via the exponential map we…
