We introduce a combinatorial method to construct indefinite Ricci-flat metrics on nice nilpotent Lie groups. We prove that every nilpotent Lie group of dimension $\leq6$, every nice nilpotent Lie group of dimension $\leq7$ and every…

The Ricci flow equation of a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a closed 2-dimensional configuration space is analysed. It turns out to be equivalent to the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation for a point particle subject to a potential…

We show that the two-point function \sigma(x,x')=\sqrt{<[\phi(x)-\phi(x')]^{2}>} of a scalar quantum field theory is a metric (i.e., a symmetric positive function satisfying the triangle inequality) on space-time (with imaginary time). It…

In this paper we study isometry-invariant Finsler metrics on inner product spaces over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, i.e. the Finsler metrics which do not change under the action of all isometries of the inner product space. We give a new…

In this paper, (gradient) almost Ricci solitons on Finsler measure spaces $(M, F, m)$ are introduced and investigated. We prove that $(M, F, m)$ is a gradient almost Ricci soliton if and only if the infinity-Ricci curvature Ric$_\infty$ is…

We describe a framework for constructing the Ricci-flat metrics on the total space of the canonical bundle over $\mathbb{CP}^2 \# \overline{\mathbb{CP}^2}$ (the del Pezzo surface of rank one). We construct explicitly the first-order…

In this paper we study certain types of metrics such as Ricci soliton, $*$-conformal Ricci soliton in 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold. First we have shown that a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold of type $(\alpha,\beta)$ admits a…

We determine all Ricci flat left invariant Lorentzian metrics on simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. We show that the $2k+1$-dimensional Heisenberg Lie group $H_{2k+1}$ carries a Ricci flat left invariant Lorentzian metric if and…

B List has recently studied a geometric flow whose fixed points correspond to static Ricci flat spacetimes. It is now known that this flow is in fact Ricci flow modulo pullback by a certain diffeomorphism. We use this observation to…

This paper presents a systematic study of invariant Einstein metrics on basic classical Lie supergroups, whose Lie superalgebras belong to the Kac's classification of finite dimensional classical simple Lie superalgebras over $\mathbb{R}$.…

Given a manifold $M$ endowed with a contact 1-form $\alpha$, a bi-invariant pseudo-metric $\varrho_\alpha$ is introduced on $Cont(M,\alpha)$, the compactly supported identity component of the group of all strict contactomorphisms of…

We consider a two-parameter family of maps $T_{\alpha, \beta}: [0,1] \to [0,1]$ with a neutral fixed point and a non-flat critical point. Building on a cone technique due to Baladi and Todd, we show that for a class of $L^q$ observables…

The well-known Funk metric F(x,y) is projectively flat with constant flag curvature K=-1/4 and the Hilbert metric H(x,y):=(F(x,y)+F(x,-y))/2 is projectively flat with constant curvature K=-1. These metrics are the special solutions to…

In this paper, we study one of the open problems in Finsler geometry which presented by Matsumoto-Shimada about the existence of P-reducible metric which is not C-reducible. For this aim, we study a class of Finsler metrics called…

In this paper, we introduce a new type of Finsler metrics, called $(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$-metrics. We define the notion of the good datum of a homogeneous $(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$-metric and use that to study the geometric properties. In…

Munteanu defined the canonical connection associated to a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold $(M,F)$. We first prove that the holomorphic sectional curvature tensors of the canonical connection coincide with those of the…

In this paper we study flag curvature of invariant $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics of the form $\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^2}{\alpha}$ on homogeneous spaces and Lie groups. We give a formula for flag curvature of invariant metrics of the form…

We investigate the log-concavity on the half-line of the Wright function $\phi(-\alpha,\beta,-x),$ in the probabilistic setting $\alpha\in (0,1)$ and $\beta \ge 0.$ Applications are given to the construction of generalized entropies…

In this paper we introduce a synthetic notion of Riemannian Ricci bounds from below for metric measure spaces (X,d,m) which is stable under measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence and rules out Finsler geometries. It can be given in terms of…

An SKT metric is a Hermitian metric on a complex manifold whose fundamental 2-form $\omega$ satisfies $\de\debar\omega=0$. Streets and Tian introduced in \cite{sttiPlur} a Ricci-type flow that preserves the SKT condition. This flow uses the…
