Given a flat metric one may generate a local Hamiltonian structure via the fundamental result of Dubrovin and Novikov. More generally, a flat pencil of metrics will generate a local bi-Hamiltonian structure, and with additional…

Let $P\to M$ be a principal bundle. Consider a sequence of metrics on $P$ obtained by re-scaling the fibers to points. The Gromov-Hausdorff limit of the tangent bundles over these principal bundles with their Sasaki metric is seen herein to…

A systematic study of deformations of four-dimensional Einsteinian space-times embedded in a pseudo-Euclidean space $E^N$ of higher dimension is presented. Infinitesimal deformations, seen as vector fields in $E^N$, can be divided in two…

In the present paper, we study hemi-slant submanifolds of a locally product Riemannian manifold. We prove that the anti-invariant distribution which is involved in the definition of hemi-slant submanifold is integrable and give some…

Our aim in this paper is to study local rigidity for metrics defined on a compact manifold $M$ with boundary satisfying constant scalar curvature on $M$ and constant mean curvature on $\partial M$. We present some geometrical hypotheses…

For warped products with harmonic curvature, nonconstant warping functions $\phi$, and compact two-dimensional bases $(M,h)$, we establish a dichotomy: either the Gaussian curvature $K$ of the metric $g=\phi^{-2}h$ is constant and negative,…

The L\'evi-Civita connection of a Riemannian manifold is a metric (compatible) linear connection, uniquely determined by its vanishing torsion. It is extremal in the sense that it has minimal torsion at each point. We can extend this idea…
