It is known that if gauge conditions have Gribov zero modes, then topological symmetry is broken. In this paper we apply it to topological gravity in dimension $n \geq 3$. Our choice of the gauge condition for conformal invariance is…
A Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian (or conformal) structure is conformally Einstein if and only if there is a suitably generic parallel section of a certain vector bundle -- the so-called standard conformal tractor bundle. We show that this…
A new semi-supervised machine learning package is introduced which successfully solves the Euclidean vacuum Einstein equations with a cosmological constant, without any symmetry assumptions. The model architecture contains subnetworks for…
We study global obstructions to the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor on a Riemannian 3-manifold. As a topological obstruction, we first show that if the 3-manifold is closed, then certain choices of the eigenvalues are prohibited: in…
We investigate 3-dimensional almost Kenmotsu manifolds satisfying special types of nullity conditions depending on two smooth functions $\kappa,\mu$. When either $\kappa<-1$ and $\mu=0$ or $h=0$, such conditions coincide with the…
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…
A classical question in spectral geometry is, for each pair of nonnegative integers $(p,n)$ such that $p\leq 2n$, if the eigenvalues of Laplacian on $p$-forms of a compact K\"{a}hler manifold are the same as those of $\mathbb{C}P^n$…
An anti-Kaehlerian manifold is a complex manifold with an anti-Hermitian metric and a parallel almost complex structure. It is shown that a metric on such a manifold must be the real part of a holomorphic metric. It is proved that all odd…
A Hermitian Einstein-Weyl manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Ricci-flat Kaehler covering W, with the deck transform acting on W by homotheties. If compact, it admits a canonical Vaisman metric, due to Gauduchon. We show that a…
We present a covariant multisymplectic formulation for the Einstein-Hilbert model of General Relativity. As it is described by a second-order singular Lagrangian, this is a gauge field theory with constraints. The use of the unified…
The goal of this article is to investigate nontrivial $m$-quasi-Einstein manifolds globally conformal to an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. By considering such manifolds, whose conformal factors and potential functions are invariant under…
This article presents a new and more elementary proof of the main Seiberg-Witten-based obstruction to the existence of Einstein metrics on smooth compact 4-manifolds. It also introduces a new smooth manifold invariant which conveniently…
The Gauss law constraint in the Hamiltonian form of the $SU(2)$ gauge theory of gluons is satisfied by any functional of the gauge invariant tensor variable $\phi^{ij} = B^{ia} B^{ja}$. Arguments are given that the tensor $G_{ij} =…
Pure (2+1)-dimensional Einstein gravity is analysed in the Ashtekar formulation, when the spatial manifold is a torus. We have found a set of globally defined observables, forming a closed algebra. This allowed us to solve the quantum…
The Einstein/Maxwell equations reduce in the stationary and axially symmetric case to a harmonic map with prescribed singularities phi: R^3\Sigma -> H^2_C, where Sigma is a subset of the axis of symmetry, and H^2_C is the complex hyperbolic…
Based on the distinction between the covariant and contravariant metric tensor components in the framework of the affine geometry approach and also on the choice of the contravariant components, it was shown that a wide variety of third,…
In this paper, we show several vanishing type theorems for $p$-harmonic $\ell$-forms on Riemannian manifolds ($p\geq2$). First of all, we consider complete non-compact immersed submanifolds $M^n$ of ${N}^{n+m}$ with flat normal bundle, we…
The third del Pezzo surface admits a unique Kaehler-Einstein metric, which is not known in closed form. The manifold's toric structure reduces the Einstein equation to a single Monge-Ampere equation in two real dimensions. We numerically…
Based on a well-known fact that there are no Einstein hypersurfaces in a non-flat complex space form, in this article we study the quasi-Einstein condition, which is a generalization of an Einstein metric, on the real hyersurface of a…
Assume that a basic algebra $A$ over an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ with a basic set $A_0$ of primitive idempotents has the property that $eAe=\Bbbk$ for all $e \in A_0$. Let $n$ be a nonzero integer, and $\phi$ and $\psi$ two…
