We study the relation between an R-Cartan structure {\alpha} and an (I, J, K)- generalized Finsler structure on a 3-manifold showing the difficulty in finding a general transformation that maps these structures each other. In some…

Several representations of geometric shapes involve quotients of mapping spaces. The projection onto the quotient space defines two sub-bundles of the tangent bundle, called the horizontal and vertical bundle. We investigate in these notes…

In this paper, projective representations of generalized chain geometries are investigated, using the concepts and results of part I. In particular, we study under which conditions such a projective representation maps the chains of a…

The space of generalized projective structures on a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ of genus g with n marked points is the affine space over the cotangent bundle to the space of SL(N)-opers. It is a phase space of $W_N$-gravity on…

Exploiting the affinity between stable generalized complex structures and symplectic structures, we explain how certain constructions coming from symplectic geometry can be performed in the generalized complex setting. We introduce…

We study harmonic mappings from a Riemannian manifold $N$ into a principal $G$-bundle $P$ endowed with a $G$-invariant Riemannian metric (i.e. a Kaluza-Klein metric). These morphisms are called Kaluza-Klein harmonic maps and naturally lead…

Some geometric structures with associated Riemannian metrics have been considered in the book.

Let $(M,\nabla,\langle\;,\;\rangle)$ be a manifold endowed with a flat torsionless connection $\nabla$ and a Riemannian metric $\langle\;,\;\rangle$ and $(T^kM)_{k\geq1}$ the sequence of tangent bundles given by $T^kM=T(T^{k-1}M)$ and…

We give a general description of the construction of weighted spherically symmetric metrics on vector bundle manifolds, i.e. the total space of a vector bundle $E\rightarrow M$, over a Riemannian manifold $M$, when $E$ is endowed with a…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold. When $M$ is compact and the tangent bundle $TM$ is equipped with the Sasaki metric $g^s$, the only vector fields which define harmonic maps from $(M,g)$ to $(TM,g^s)$, are the parallel ones. The Sasaki…

A Riemannian metric on a closed manifold is said to be geometrically formal if the wedge product of any two harmonic forms is harmonic; equivalently, the interior product of any two harmonic forms is harmonic. Given a Riemannian foliation…

Let $P(M,G)$ be a principal fiber bundle, let $\omega$ be a connection form on $P(M,G)$, and consider a projectable connection $\nabla^{P}$ on $P(M,G)$. The aim of this work is to determine the $\nabla^{P}$-martingales in $P(M,G)$. Our…

We consider the problem of constructing solutions to the Yamabe equation (i.e. conformal constant scalar curvature metrics) on the generalized connected sum M = (M_1) #_K (M_2) of two compact Riemannian manifolds (M_1,g_1) and (M_2,g_2)…

The structure of covariant instruments is studied and a general structure theorem is derived. A detailed characterization is given to covariant instruments in the case of an irreducible representation of a locally compact group.

We investigate geometric properties of homogeneous parabolic geometries with generalized symmetries. We show that they can be reduced to a simpler geometric structures and interpret them explicitly. For specific types of parabolic…

Let G be a unimodular Lie group, X a compact manifold with boundary, and M the total space of a principal bundle G--> M-->X so that M is also a strongly pseudoconvex complex manifold. In this work, we show that if there exists a point p in…

It is shown that four-dimensional generalized symmetric spaces can be naturally equipped with some additional structures defined by means of their curvature operators. As an application, those structures are used to characterize generalized…

The main purpose of the present paper is to construct Riemannian almost product structures on the $(1,1)-$tensor bundle equipped with Cheeger-Gromoll type metric over a Riemannian manifold and present some results concerning with these…

We describe conditions under which a spacetime connection and a scaled Lorentzian metric define natural symplectic and Poisson structures on the tangent bundle of the Einstein spacetime.

We review the concept of a graded bundle as a natural generalisation of a vector bundle. Such geometries are particularly nice examples of more general graded manifolds. With hindsight there are many examples of graded bundles that appear…
