We develop a notion of Einstein manifolds with skew torsion on compact, orientable Riemannian manifolds of dimension four. We prove an analogue of the Hitchin-Thorpe inequality and study the case of equality. We use the link with…

We produce some explicit examples of conformally compact Einstein manifolds, whose conformal compactifications are foliated by Riemannian products of a closed Einstein manifold with the total space of a principal circle bundle over products…
The minimal volume of a closed manifold $M$ is the infimum of the volume of $(M,g)$ over all metrics $g$ with sectional curvature between $-1$ and $1$. We introduce a variant called the essential minimal volume, $\mathrm{ess-Minvol}(M)$,…

he celebrated formula of Schlafli relates the variation of the dihedral angles of a smooth family of polyhedra in a space form and the variation of volume. We give a smooth analogue of this classical formula -- our result relates the…
We study the renormalized volume of a conformally compact Einstein manifold. In even dimensions, we derive the analogue of the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula incorporating the renormalized volume. When the dimension is odd, we relate the…
In this article, we investigate the volume comparison with respect to scalar curvature. In particular, we show volume comparison holds for small geodesic balls of metrics near a V-static metric. For closed manifold, we prove the volume…
In this work we are interested in studying deformations of the $\sigma_2$-curvature and the volume. For closed manifolds, we relate critical points of the total $\sigma_2$-curvature functional to the $\sigma_2$-Einstein metrics and, as a…
Say S is a compact three-manifold with non-positive Yamabe invariant. We prove that in any long time constant mean curvature Einstein flow over S, having bounded C^{\alpha} space-time curvature at the cosmological scale, the reduced volume…
Curvature properties of a metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion are investigated. It is shown that if either the 3-form $T$ is harmonic, $dT=\delta T=0$ or the curvature of the torsion connection $R\in S^2\Lambda^2$ then the…
In this paper, we investigate the geometry of Einstein-type equation on a Riemannian manifold, unifying various particular geometric structures recently studied in the literature, such as critical point equation and vacuum static equation.…
Manifolds endowed with torsion and nonmetricity are interesting both from the physical and the mathematical points of view. In this paper, we generalize some results presented in the literature. We study Einstein manifolds (i.e., manifolds…
Volume comparison theorem is a type of fundamental results in Riemannian geometry. In this article, we extend the volume comparison result in \cite{Besse2008} to the comparison of total $\sigma_l$-curvature with respect to…
In this work we wish characterize the Einstein manifolds $(M,g)$, however without the necessity of hypothesis of compactness over $M$ and unitary volume of $g$, which are well known in many works. Our result says that if all eingenvalues…
We establish that any affine manifold $(M,\nabla)$ endowed with a parallel volume form $\omega,$ admits, in any conformal class of Riemannian metrics, a representative $H$ for which $\nabla$ is the Levi-Civita connection. This provides a…
An Einstein manifold is called scalar curvature rigid if there are no compactly supported volume-preserving deformation of the metric which increase the scalar curvature. We give various characterizations of scalar curvature rigidity for…
We study the variation of a smooth volume form along extremals of a variational problem with nonholonomic constraints and an action-like Lagrangian. We introduce a new invariant describing the interaction of the volume with the dynamics and…
For any closed smooth Riemannian manifold H. Weyl has defined a sequence of numbers called today intrinsic volumes. They include volume, Euler characteristic, and integral of the scalar curvature. We conjecture that absolute values of all…
