A Lie group $G$ endowed with a left invariant Riemannian metric $g$ is called Riemannian Lie group. Harmonic and biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds is an important area of investigation. In this paper, we study different aspects…

We investigate connections between pairs of (pseudo-)Riemannian metrics whose sum is a (tensor) product of a covector field with itself. A bijective mapping between the classes of Euclidean and Lorentzian metrics is constructed as a special…

Morita equivalence classes of Lie groupoids serve as models for differentiable stacks, which are higher spaces in differential geometry, generalizing manifolds and orbifolds. Representations up to homotopy of Lie groupoids provide a higher…

Comparisons on $L^{n\over 2}$-norms of scalar curvatures between Riemannian metrics and standard metrics are obtained. The metrics are restricted to conformal classes or under certain curvature conditions.
