Let $G/H$ be a connected, simply connected homogeneous space of a compact Lie group $G$. We study $G$-invariant quasi-Einstein metrics on the cohomogeneity one manifold $G/H\times (0,1)$ imposing the so-called monotypic condition on $G/H$.…

Biconformal deformations take place in the presence of a conformal foliation, deforming by different factors tangent to and orthogonal to the foliation. Four-manifolds endowed with a conformal foliation by surfaces present a natural context…
We consider the space of smooth gradient expanding Ricci soliton structures on $S^1 \times \mathbb{R}^3$ and $S^2 \times \mathbb{R}^2$ which are invariant under the action of $\text{SO}(3) \times \text{SO}(2)$. In the case of each topology,…
A construction of Kaehler-Einstein metrics using Galois coverings, studied by Arezzo-Ghigi-Pirola, is generalized to orbifolds. By applying it to certain orbifold covers of P^n which are trivial set theoretically, one obtains new Einstein…
Explicit solutions to the conifold equations with complex dimension $n=3,4$ in terms of {\it{complex coordinates (fields)}} are employed to construct the Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metrics on these manifolds. The K\"{a}hler 2-forms are found to…
We prove that there exists at least one positive Einstein metric on $\mathbb{HP}^{m+1}\sharp \overline{\mathbb{HP}}^{m+1}$ for $m\geq 2$. Based on the existence of the first Einstein metric, we give a criterion to check the existence of a…
We discuss whether it is possible to reconstruct a metric by its unparameterized geodesics, and how to do it effectively. We explain why this problem is interesting for general relativity. We show how to understand whether all curves from a…
An examples of a Ricci-flat of four-dimensional spaces with a Walker metrics and their generalizations are constructed. The properties of corresponding geodesic equations are discussed.
Homogeneous geodesics of homogeneous Finsler metrics derived from two or more Riemannian geodesic orbit metrics are investigated. For a broad newly defined family of positively related Riemannian geodesic orbit metrics, geodesic lemma is…
On an $n$-dimensional complete manifold $M$, consider an $h$-almost gradient Ricci soliton, which is a generalization of a gradient Ricci soliton. We prove that if the manifold is Bach-flat and $dh/du>0$, then the manifold $M$ is either…
We give an explicit description of all complete $G$-invariant Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics on the tangent bundle $T(G/K)\cong G^\bbC/K^\bbC$ of rank-one Riemannian symmetric spaces $G/K$ of compact type, in terms of associated…
We review a recent series of $G_2$ manifolds constructed via solvable Lie groups obtained in math.DG/0409137. They carry two related distinguished metrics, one negative Einstein and the other in the conformal class of a Ricci-flat metric.
The geometric approach to optimal transport and information theory has triggered the interpretation of probability densities as an infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifold. The most studied Riemannian structures are Otto's metric, yielding…
This paper constructs a Riemann surface associated to the icosahedron and discusses the geodesics associated to a flat metric on this surface. Because of the icosahedral symmetry, this is a distinguished special case of the example treated…
If $M$ is the underlying smooth oriented $4$-manifold of a Del Pezzo surface, we consider the set of Riemannian metrics $h$ on $M$ such that $W^+(\omega , \omega )> 0$, where $W^+$ is the self-dual Weyl curvature of $h$, and $\omega$ is a…
This note considers fairly general quasi-homogeneous systems of first-order nonlinear ODEs and homogeneous systems of second-order nonlinear ODEs that contain arbitrary functions of several arguments. It presents several exact solutions to…
We introduce the notion of a special monopole class on a four-manifold. This is used to prove restrictions on the smooth structures of Einstein manifolds. As an application we prove that there are Einstein four-manifolds which are simply…
