All invariant contact metric structures on tangent sphere bundles of each compact rank-one symmetric space are obtained explicitly, distinguishing for the orthogonal case those that are K-contact, Sasakian or 3-Sasakian. Only the tangent…

We establish a one-to-one correspondence between K\"ahler metrics in a given conformal class and parallel sections of a certain vector bundle with conformally invariant connection, where the parallel sections satisfy a set of non--linear…

Every compact K\"ahler manifold with negative first Chern class admits a unique metric $g$ such that $\text{Ric}(g) = -g$. Understanding how families of these metrics degenerate gives insight into their geometry and is important for…

We classify all smooth compact connected K\"ahler threefolds that admit the structure of a $C^\infty$-fiber bundle over the circle. This generalizes the work of Hao and Schreieder in the projective case. In contrast to the projective case,…

Let $G$ be a simple compact connected Lie group. We study homogeneous Einstein metrics for a class of compact homogeneous spaces, namely generalized flag manifolds $G/H$ with second Betti number $b_{2}(G/H)=1$. There are 8 infinite families…

We prove the openness of the balanced HKT cone within the cone of HKT structures on a compact hypercomplex manifold $(M,I,J,K)$. We also study the Lie algebra of hyperholomorphic vector fields of type (1,0) with respect to $I$, with…

We consider and resolve the gap problem for almost quaternion-Hermitian structures, i.e. we determine the maximal and submaximal symmetry dimensions, both for Lie algebras and Lie groups, in the class of almost quaternion-Hermitian…

We show the existence of strictly almost-Kahler anti-self-dual metrics on certain 4-manifolds by deforming scalar-flat Kahler metrics. On the other hand, we prove the non-existence of such metrics on certain other 4-manifolds by means of…

In this paper, we show that any compact K$\"a$hler manifold homotopic to a compact Riemannian manifold with negative sectional curvature admits a K$\"a$hler-Einstein metric of general type. Moreover, we prove that, on a compact symplectic…

We present the construction of a large class of homogeneous KT, HKT and QKT manifolds, $G/K$, using an invariant metric on $G$ and the canonical connection. For this a decomposition of the Lie algebra of $G$ is employed, which is most…

Let $M$ be a pseudo-Hermitian homogeneous space of finite volume. We show that $M$ is compact and the identity component $G$ of the group of holomorphic isometries of $M$ is compact. If $M$ is simply connected, then even the full group of…

We study obstructions to the existence of Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on closed smooth manifolds arising from torsion classes in the integral homology of their fundamental groups. As an application, we construct new…

We investigate the conditions under which astheno-K\"ahler structures can be identified on the product of two compact trans-Sasakian manifolds of dimensions greater than 2.

In this paper we prove that for all $n=4k-2$, $k\ge2$ there exists closed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds $M$ with negative sectional curvature that do not have the homotopy type of a locally symmetric space, such that…

In this paper we study the para-hyperK\"ahler geometry of the deformation space of MGHC anti-de Sitter structures on $\Sigma\times\mathbb R$, for $\Sigma$ a closed oriented surface. We show that a neutral pseudo-Riemannian metric and three…

Compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds that have parallel Weyl tensor without being conformally flat or locally symmetric are known to exist in infinitely many dimensions greater than 4. We prove some general topological properties of such…

The equality between the balanced and the Gauduchon cones is discussed in several situations. In particular, it is shown that equality does not hold on many twistor spaces, and it holds on Moishezon manifolds. Moreover, it is proved that a…

We observed in our previous paper that all the complex structures on four-dimensional compact solvmanifolds, including tori, are left-invariant. In this paper we will give an example of a six-dimensional compact solvmanifold which admits a…

We find a new class of invariant metrics existing on the tangent bundle of any given almost-Hermitian manifold. We focus here on the case of Riemannian surfaces, which yield new examples of K\"ahlerian Ricci-flat manifolds in four real…

Twistor CR manifolds, introduced by LeBrun, are Lorentzian (neutral) CR 5-manifolds defined as $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundles over 3-dimensional conformal manifolds. In this paper, we embed a real analytic twistor CR manifold into the twistor space…
