Two K\"ahler metrics on a complex manifold are called c-projectively equivalent if their $J$-planar curves coincide. These curves are defined by the property that the acceleration is complex proportional to the velocity. We give an explicit…

We show that for any complete connected K\"ahler manifold the index of the group of complex affine transformations in the group of c-projective transformations is at most two unless the K\"ahler manifold is isometric to complex projective…

Let $M$ be a K\"ahler manifold with complex structure $J$ and K\"ahler metric $g$. A c-projective vector field is a vector field on $M$ whose flow sends $J$-planar curves to $J$-planar curves, where $J$-planar curves are analogs of what…

A vector field on a K\"ahler manifold is called c-projective if its flow preserves the J-planar curves. We give a complete local classification of K\"ahler real 4-dimensional manifolds that admit an essential c-projective vector field. An…

On an almost complex manifold, a quasi-K\"{a}hler metric, with canonical connection in the c-projective class of a given minimal complex connection, is equivalent to a non-degenerate solution of the c-projectively invariant metrizability…

Two Kaehler metrics on one complex manifold are said to be c-projectively equivalent if their J-planar curves, i.e., curves defined by the property that their acceleration is complex proportional to their velocity, coincide. The degree of…

The study of projectively equivalent metrics, i.e., metrics sharing the same unparametrized geodesics, is a classical and well-established area of investigation. In the Kaehler context, such branch of research goes by the name of…

For complete complex connections on almost complex manifolds we introduce a natural definition of compactification. This is based on almost c--projective geometry, which is the almost complex analogue of projective differential geometry.…

We prove the classical Yano-Obata conjecture by showing that the connected component of the group of holomorph-projective transformations of a closed, connected Riemannian K\"ahler manifold consists of isometries unless the metric has…

We derive necessary conditions for a complex projective structure on a complex surface to arise via the Levi-Civita connection of a (pseudo-)K\"ahler metric. Furthermore we show that the (pseudo-)K\"ahler metrics defined on some domain in…

C-projective structures are analogues of projective structures in the complex setting. The maximal dimension of the Lie algebra of c-projective symmetries of a complex connection on an almost complex manifold of C-dimension $n>1$ is…

We present a uniform framework generalising and extending the classical theories of projective differential geometry, c-projective geometry, and almost quaternionic geometry. Such geometries, which we call \emph{projective parabolic…

The universal C*-algebra generated by n projections has been described. As an immediate corollary one obtains structure theorem for a pair of projections and the solution to an associated index problem. This puts the study of a pair of…

We discuss the geometry of the c-map from projective special K\"ahler to quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds using the twist construction to provide a global approach to Hitchin's description. As found by Alexandrov et al. and Alekseevsky et…

We introduce the concept of a branched holomorphic Cartan geometry. It generalizes to higher dimension the definition of branched (flat) complex projective structure on a Riemann surface introduced by Mandelbaum. This new framework is much…

A metric projective structure is a manifold equipped with the unparametrised geodesics of some pseudo-Riemannian metric. We make acomprehensive treatment of such structures in the case that there is a projective Weyl curvature nullity…

We define the notion of an $S^1$-bundle of projective special complex base type and construct a conical special complex manifold from it. Consequently the base space of such an $S^{1}$-bundle can be realized as $\mathbb{C}^{\ast}$-quotient…

We show that any dimension $6$ nearly K\"ahler (or nearly para-K\"ahler) geometry arises as a projective manifold equipped with a $\textrm{G}_2^{(*)}$ holonomy reduction. In the converse direction we show that if a projective manifold is…

Kodaira embedding theorem provides an effective characterization of projectivity of a K\"ahler manifold in terms the second cohomology. Recently X. Yang [21] proved that any compact K\"ahler manifold with positive holomorphic sectional…

In this paper we generalize special geometry to arbitrary signatures in target space. We formulate the definitions in a precise mathematical setting and give a translation to the coordinate formalism used in physics. For the projective…
