We compute the Yamabe invariant for a class of symplectic 4-manifolds of general type obtained by taking the rational blowdown of Kahler surfaces. In particular, for any point on the half-Noether line we exhibit a simply connected minimal…

In this paper, we study scalar curvature rigidity of non-smooth metrics on smooth manifolds with non-positive Yamabe invariant. We prove that if the scalar curvature is not less than the Yamabe invariant in distributional sense, then the…

We classify (up to affine equivalence) all 7-dimensional flat manifolds with a cyclic holonomy group.

We give a complete description of semi-symmetric algebraic curvature tensors on a four-dimensional Lorentzian vector space and we use this description to determine all four-dimensional homogeneous semi-symmetric Lorentzian manifolds.

Octupolar tensors are third order, completely symmetric and traceless tensors. Whereas in 2D an octupolar tensor has the same symmetries as an equilateral triangle and can ultimately be identified with a vector in the plane, the symmetries…

The aim of this note is to prove that any compact non-trivial almost Ricci soliton $\big(M^n,\,g,\,X,\,\lambda\big)$ with constant scalar curvature is isometric to a Euclidean sphere $\Bbb{S}^{n}$. As a consequence we obtain that every…

We study Yamabe metrics, and the moduli space of Yamabe metrics, on an arbitrary closed 3-manifold M. The main focus is on the boundary behavior of the moduli space, i.e. the behavior of degenerating sequences of unit volume Yamabe metrics…

A new type of three-dimensional magnetic soliton in easy-axis ferromagnets is predicted by taking simultaneous account of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction and an external magnetic field. The numerically obtained static three-dimensional…

We study the variational equations for solitons in noncommutative scalar field theories in an even number of spatial dimensions. We prove the existence of spherically symmetric solutions for a sufficiently large noncommutativity parameter…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for some particular couples $(g,\nabla)$ of pseudo-Riemannian metrics and affine connections to be statistical structures if we have gradient almost Einstein, almost Ricci, almost Yamabe…

In the framework of the study of homogeneous Lorentzian three-manifolds, we consider here the only class of examples which admit a four-dimensional group of isometries but are neither Lorentzian Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu spaces nor plane…

The Yamabe Invariant of a smooth compact manifold is by definition the supremum of the scalar curvatures of unit-volume Yamabe metrics on the manifold. For an explicit infinite class of 4-manifolds, we show that this invariant is positive…

We study graded symmetric algebras, which are the symmetric monoids in the monoidal category of vector spaces graded by a group. We show that a finite dimensional graded semisimple algebra is graded symmetric. The center of a symmetric…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian three-dimensional manifold with boundary. We prove the compactness of the set of scalar-flat metrics which are in the conformal class of g and have the boundary as a constant mean curvature hypersurface.…

We present and study new non-topological soliton solutions in the $U(1)$ gauged non-linear $O(3)$ sigma model with a symmetry breaking potential in 3+1 dimensional flat space-time. The configurations are endowed with an electric and…

We completely classify the algebraic Ricci solitons of four-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian generalized symmetric spaces.

We show that, up to the flow of the soliton vector field, there exists a unique complete steady gradient K\"ahler-Ricci soliton in every K\"ahler class of an equivariant crepant resolution of a Calabi-Yau cone converging at a polynomial…

We study a characterization of 4-dimensional (not necessarily complete) gradient Ricci solitons $(M, g, f)$ which have harmonic Weyl curvature, i.e. $\delta W=0$. Roughly speaking, we prove that the soliton metric $g$ is locally isometric…

The main purpose of this paper is to show that a normalized non-steady gradient Ricci soliton (M,g,f,{\lambda}) of dimension n is trivial if and only if its scalar curvature S satisfies the equality S={\lambda}(f+(n/2)).

We introduce multipole soliton complexes in optical lattices induced by nondiffracting parabolic beams. Despite the symmetry-breaking dictated by the curvature of the lattice channels, we find that complex, asymmetric higher-order states…
