We partially describe equivariant Dirac and generalized complex structures on a homogeneous space $G/K$ by giving equivalent data involving only the Lie algebra. We consider real semisimple adjoint orbits in any semisimple Lie algebra over…

Every real simple non-compact Lie algebra not isomorphic to $\mathfrak{so}(1,n)$ contains a unique standard parabolic subalgebra whose nilradical is a generalized Heisenberg algebra. Here we discuss the associated parabolic geometries and…

We classify the 6-dimensional Lie algebras of the form $g\times g$ that admit integrable complex structure. We also endow a Lie algebra of the kind $o(n)\oplus o(n)$ with such a complex structure. The motivation comes from geometric…

In this paper, we prove that, a compact complex manifold $X$ admits a smooth Hermitian metric with positive (resp. negative) scalar curvature if and only if $K_X$ (resp. $K_X^{-1}$) is not pseudo-effective. On the contrary, we also show…

We characterize unimodular solvable Lie algebras with Vaisman structures in terms of K\"ahler flat Lie algebras equipped with a suitable derivation. Using this characterization we obtain algebraic restrictions for the existence of Vaisman…

Motivated by low energy effective theories arising from compactification on curved manifolds, we determine the complete spectrum of the Laplacian operator on the three-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifold. We first use the result to construct…

We compute the full holonomy group of compact Lorentzian manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor, which are neither conformally flat nor locally symmetric, for the case where the fundamental group is contained in a distinguished subgroup G of…

By virtue of the well-known theorem, a structure Lie group K of a principal bundle $P$ is reducible to its closed subgroup H iff there exists a global section of the quotient bundle P/K. In gauge theory, such sections are treated as Higgs…

We study fundamental groups of compact Sasaki manifolds and show that compared to K\"ahler groups, they exhibit rather different behaviour. This class of groups is not closed under taking direct products, and there is often an upper bound…

The discrete cocompact subgroups of the five-dimensional connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie groups are determined up to isomorphism. Moreover, we prove if $G=N\times A$ is a connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie group with an…

In this paper we generalize a result in [1], showing that an arbitrary Riemannian symmetric space can be realized as a closed submanifold of a covering group of the Lie group defining the symmetric space. Some properties of the subgroups of…

We prove that for any $n\geq 4$ there are infinitely many real homotopy types of $2n$-dimensional nilmanifolds admitting generalized complex structures of every type $k$, for $0 \leq k \leq n$. This is in deep contrast to the…

In this paper, we show that a generalized Sasakian space form of dimension greater than three is either of constant sectional curvature; or a canal hypersurface in Euclidean or Minkowski spaces; or locally a certain type of twisted product…

We carry on a systematic study of nearly Sasakian manifolds. We prove that any nearly Sasakian manifold admits two types of integrable distributions with totally geodesic leaves which are, respectively, Sasakian or $5$-dimensional nearly…

We characterize isometric actions on compact Kaehler manifolds admitting a Lagrangian orbit, describing under which condition the Lagrangian orbit is unique. We furthermore give the complete classification of simple groups acting on the…

We extend a result of Patodi for closed Riemannian manifolds to the context of closed contact manifolds by showing the condition that a manifold is an $\eta$-Einstein Sasakian manifold is spectrally determined. We also prove that the…

In this continuation of \cite{BK} we investigate the non-abelian Hodge correspondence on compact Sasakian manifolds with emphasis on the quasi-regular case. On quasi-regular Sasakian manifolds, we introduce the notions of quasi-regularity…

We prove that if a compact K\"ahler Poisson manifold has a symplectic leaf with finite fundamental group, then after passing to a finite \'etale cover, it decomposes as the product of the universal cover of the leaf and some other Poisson…

Using $S^1$-equivariant symplectic homology, in particular its mean Euler characteristic, of the natural filling of links of Brieskorn-Pham polynomials, we prove the existence of infinitely many inequivalent contact structures on various…

We show that the existence of an embedded compact, boundaryless hypersurface S of strictly positive mean curvature in a noncompact, connected, complete Riemannian n-manifold N of nonnegative Ricci curvature implies that the homomorphism…
