In this note we study warped compactifications of M-theory on manifolds of Spin(7) holonomy in the presence of background 4-form flux. The explicit form of the superpotential can be given in terms of the self -dual Cayley calibration on the…
We refine the Morgan's work on mixed Hodge structures on Sullivan's $1$--minimal models by using non-abelian Hodge theory. As an application, we give explicit representatives of real unipotent variations of mixed Hodge structures over…
A variational formulation for the geodesic circles in two-dimensional Riemannian manifold is discovered. Some relations with the uniform relativistic acceleration and the one-dimensional 'spin'-curvature interaction is investigated.
We derive a Reilly-type formula for differential p-forms on a compact manifold with boundary and apply it to give a sharp lower bound of the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on differential forms of an embedded hypersurface of a…
In this paper, we give an explicit second variation formula for a biharmonic hypersurface in a Riamannian manifold similar to that of a minimal hypersurface. We then use the second variation formula to compute the stability index of the…
Lagrangian contact supersymmetries (depending on derivatives of arbitrary order) are treated in very general setting. The cohomology of the variational bicomplex on an arbitrary graded manifold and the iterated cohomology of a generic…
Motivated by the physical concept of special geometry two mathematical constructions are studied, which relate real hypersurfaces to tube domains and complex Lagrangean cones respectively. Me\-thods are developed for the classification of…

This paper belongs to the realm of conformal geometry and deals with Euclidean submanifolds that admit smooth variations that are infinitesimally conformal. Conformal variations of Euclidean submanifolds is a classical subject in…
We investigate degenerate special-Hermitian metrics on compact complex manifolds, in particular, degenerate K\"ahler and locally conformally K\"ahler metrics on special classes of non-K\"ahler manifolds.
We derive second order estimates for $\chi$-plurisubharmonic solutions of complex Hessian equations with right hand sides depending on gradients on compact Hermitian manifolds.
Locally variational systems of differential equations on smooth manifolds, having certain de Rham cohomology group trivial, automatically possess a global Lagrangian. This important result due to Takens is, how-ever, of sheaf-theoretic…
We derive a priori second order estimates for solutions of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds under some very general structure conditions. We treat both equations on closed manifolds, and the Dirichlet…
Recently, H. Furuhata and R. Ueno obtained the first variational formula of smooth mappings of a compact statistical manifold into another manifold. In this paper, we show the second variational formula of harmonic mappings of a statistical…
We study many properties concerning weak K\"ahlerianity on compact complex manifolds which admits a holomorphic submersion onto a K\"ahler or a balanced manifold. We get generalizations of some results of Harvey and Lawson (the K\"ahler…
We show that submanifolds of Euclidean space which are calibrated by a constant-coefficient differential form and have flat normal bundles are planes. In fact, in a Riemannian manifold equipped with a parallel calibration, a calibrated…
In this paper we introduce the area of 2-ruled 4-folds in R^n (n=7 or 8), that is, submanifolds M of R^n that admit a fibration over some 2-fold Sigma such that each fibre is an affine 2-plane in R^n. This is motivated by the paper…
We introduce a new family of closed differential forms naturally associated with minimal graphical submanifolds in Euclidean space, defined in arbitrary codimension. For each minimal graph, we construct an explicit closed form whose…

Deformed $\mathfrak{g}_2$ exceptional applications are introduced via the Clifford algebra-parametrized formalism. Using the products between multivectors of $\cl_{0,7}$, the Clifford algebra over the metric vector space $\RR^{0,7}$, and…
