We describe a few elementary aspects of the circle of ideas associated with a quantum field theory (QFT) approach to Riemannian Geometry, a theme related to how Riemannian structures are generated out of the spectrum of (random or quantum)…

We show that the scalar curvature of a steady gradient Ricci soliton satisfying that the ratio between the square norm of the Ricci tensor and the square of the scalar curvature is bounded by one half, is boundend from below by the…

I discuss geometry and normal forms for pseudo-Riemannian metrics with parallel spinor fields in some interesting dimensions. I also discuss the interaction of these conditions for parallel spinor fields with the condition that the Ricci…

We obtain Ricci flat K\"ahler metrics on complex symmetric spaces of rank two by using an explicit asymptotic model whose geometry at infinity is interpreted in the wonderful compactification of the symmetric space. We recover the metrics…

In this paper we construct Ricci-positive metrics on the connected sum of products of arbitrarily many spheres provided the dimensions of all but one sphere in each summand are at least 3. There are two new technical theorems required to…

We demonstrate a tensor renormalization group (TRG) calculation for a two-dimensional Lorentzian model of quantum Regge calculus (QRC). This model is expressed in terms of a tensor network by discretizing the continuous edge lengths of…

We introduce the notion of regular symplectomorphism and graded regular symplectomorphism between singular phase spaces. Our main concern is to exhibit examples of unitary torus representations whose symplectic quotients cannot be graded…

We suggest a tensor equation on Riemannian manifolds which can be considered as a generalization of the Dirac equation for the electron. The tetrad formalism is not used. Also we suggest a new form of the tensor Dirac equation with a…

Metric-affine theories in which the gravity Lagrangian is built using (projectively invariant) contractions of the Ricci tensor with itself and with the metric (Ricci-Based Gravity theories, or RBGs for short) are reviewed. The goal is to…

It is known that on $\mathrm{RCD}$ spaces one can define a distributional Ricci tensor ${\bf Ric}$. Here we give a fine description of this object by showing that it admits the polar decomposition $${\bf Ric}=\omega\,|{\bf Ric}|$$ for a…

We prove an L^2-estimate involving Ricci curvature and a harmonic 1-form on a closed oriented Riemannian 3-manifold admitting a solution of any rescaled Seiberg-Witten equations. We also give a necessary condition to be a monopole class on…

In this article, we derive an integral formula involving the tensor $D_{ijk}$ for compact Einstein-type manifolds with constant scalar curvature. As an application, we classify three-dimensional compact Einstein-type manifolds satisfying…

Searching for the dynamical foundations of the Havrda-Charv\'{a}t/Dar\'{o}czy/Cressie-Read/Tsallis non-additive entropy, we come across a covariant quantity called, alternatively, a generalized Ricci curvature, an $N$-Ricci curvature or a…

The comparison theory for the Riccati equation satisfied by the shape operator of parallel hypersurfaces is generalized to semi-Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary index, using one-sided bounds on the Riemann tensor which in the Riemannian…

We study a new notion of Ricci curvature that applies to Markov chains on discrete spaces. This notion relies on geodesic convexity of the entropy and is analogous to the one introduced by Lott, Sturm, and Villani for geodesic measure…

We use a construction which we call generalized cylinders to give a new proof of the fundamental theorem of hypersurface theory. It has the advantage of being very simple and the result directly extends to semi-Riemannian manifolds and to…
