Under the action of the c-map, special Kahler manifolds are mapped into a class of quaternion-Kahler spaces. We explicitly construct the corresponding Swann bundle or hyperkahler cone, and determine the hyperkahler potential in terms of the…

In this work we deal with left invariant complex and symplectic structures on simply connected four dimensional solvable real Lie groups. We search the general form of such structures, when they exist and we make use of this information to…

We define the notion of an $S^1$-bundle of projective special complex base type and construct a conical special complex manifold from it. Consequently the base space of such an $S^{1}$-bundle can be realized as $\mathbb{C}^{\ast}$-quotient…

Let K be a compact semi-simple Lie group. We classify K-invariant Kaehler structures on the space Kc/(P,P), where Kc is the complexification of K, P is a parabolic subgroup of Kc, and (P,P) the commutator subgroup. For each Kaehler…

We construct left invariant special K\"ahler structures on the cotangent bundle of a flat pseudo-Riemannian Lie group. We introduce the twisted cartesian product of two special K\"ahler Lie algebras according to two linear representations…

We develop in detail the theory of c-projective geometry, a natural analogue of projective differential geometry adapted to complex manifolds. We realise it as a type of parabolic geometry and describe the associated Cartan or tractor…

Building on the theory of noncommutative complex structures, the notion of a noncommutative K\"ahler structure is introduced. In the quantum homogeneous space case many of the fundamental results of classical K\"ahler geometry are shown to…

We will discuss in this paper homogeneous locally conformally Keahler (or shortly homogeneous l.c.K.) manifolds and locally homogeneous l.c.K. manifolds from various aspects of study in the field of l.c.K. geometry. We will provide a survey…

The Kaehler quotient of a complex reductive Lie group relative to the conjugation action carries a complex algebraic stratified Kaehler structure which reflects the geometry of the group. For the group SL(n,C), we interpret the resulting…

The coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups each carry a canonical (positive definite) K\"ahler structure, famously used to realize the group's irreducible representations in holomorphic sections of appropriate line bundles (Borel-Weil…

We study the Poincar\'e disk $\d=\{z\in\a: \|z\|<1\}$ of a C$^*$-algebra $\a$ as a homogeneous space under the action of an appropriate Banach-Lie group $\u(\theta)$ of $2\times 2$ matrices with entries in $\a$. We define on $\d$ a…

Using techniques from supergravity and dimensional reduction, we study the full isometry algebra of K\"ahler and quaternionic manifolds with special geometry. These two varieties are related by the so-called c-map, which can be understood…

For a connected Lie group G, we show that a complex structure on the total space TG of the tangent bundle of G that is left invariant and has the property that each left translation G-orbit is a totally real submanifold is induced from a…

We show the correspondence between left invariant flat projective structures on Lie groups and certain prehomogeneous vector spaces. Moreover by using the classification theory of prehomogeneous vector spaces, we classify complex Lie groups…

We define harmonic maps between sub-Riemannian manifolds by generalizing known definitions for Riemannian manifolds. We establish conditions for when a horizontal map into a Lie group with a left-invariant metric structure is a harmonic…

In this paper we present an intrinsic characterisation of projective special K\"ahler manifolds in terms of a symmetric tensor satisfying certain differential and algebraic conditions. We show that this tensor vanishes precisely when the…

We describe special Ka\"hler geometry, special quaternionic manifolds, and very special real manifolds and analyze the structure of their isometries. The classification of the homogeneous manifolds of these types is presented.

We study properties and the structure of Cartan subgroups in a connected Lie group. We obtain a characterisation of Cartan subgroups which generalises W\"ustner's structure theorem for the same. We show that Cartan subgroups are same as…

We study left-invariant locally conformally K\"ahler structures on Lie groups, or equivalently, on Lie algebras. We give some properties of these structures in general, and then we consider the special cases when its complex structure is…

We discuss the geometry of the c-map from projective special K\"ahler to quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds using the twist construction to provide a global approach to Hitchin's description. As found by Alexandrov et al. and Alekseevsky et…
