We propose a new method to construct degenerate $3$-$(\alpha,\delta)$-Sasakian manifolds as fiber products of Boothby-Wang bundles over hyperk\"ahler manifolds. Subsequently, we study homogeneous degenerate $3$-$(\alpha, \delta)$-Sasakian…
We introduce new metric structures on a smooth manifold (called "weak" structures) that generalize the almost contact, Sasakian, cosymplectic, etc. metric structures $(\varphi,\xi,\eta,g)$ and allow us to take a fresh look at the classical…
We show that every $3$-$(\alpha,\delta)$-Sasaki manifold of dimension $4n + 3$ admits a locally defined Riemannian submersion over a quaternionic K\"ahler manifold of scalar curvature $16n(n+2)\alpha\delta$. In the non-degenerate case…
We classify those manifolds mentioned in the title which have finite topological type. Namely we show any such connected M is isomorphic to a hyperkaehler quotient of a flat quaternionic vector space by an abelian group. We also show that a…
This paper combines two classical theories, namely metric projective differential geometry and superintegrability. We study superintegrable systems on 2-dimensional geometries that share the same geodesics, viewed as unparametrized curves.…
In this expository article we discuss the relations between Sasakian geometry, reduced holonomy and supersymmetry. It is well known that the Riemannian manifolds other than the round spheres that admit real Killing spinors are precisely…
We introduce the notion of even Clifford structures on Riemannian manifolds, a framework generalizing almost Hermitian and quaternion-Hermitian geometries. We give the complete classification of manifolds carrying parallel even Clifford…
The works of Commichau--Grauert and Hirschowitz showed that a formal equivalence between embeddings of a compact complex manifold is convergent, if the embeddings have sufficiently positive normal bundles in a suitable sense. We show that…
In all odd dimensions $\geq 5$ we produce examples of manifolds admitting pairs of Sasaki structures with different basic Hodge numbers. In dimension $5$ we prove more precise results, for example we show that on connected sums of copies of…
Projective structures on compact real manifolds are classical objects in real differential geometry. Complex manifolds with a holomorphic projective structure on the other hand form a special class as soon as the dimension is greater than…
We point out a simple construction of an infinite class of Einstein near-horizon geometries in all odd dimensions greater than five. Cross-sections of the horizons are inhomogeneous Sasakian metrics (but not Einstein) on S^3xS^2 and more…
In this paper, we concern with the Sasaki analogue of Yau uniformization conjecture in a complete noncompact Sasakian manifold with nonnegative transverse bisectional curvature. As a consequence, we confirm that any $5$-dimensional complete…
We consider locally conformal Kaehler geometry as an equivariant (homothetic) Kaehler geometry: a locally conformal Kaehler manifold is, up to equivalence, a pair (K,\Gamma) where K is a Kaehler manifold and \Gamma a discrete Lie group of…
We find all irreducible hypergeometric sheaves whose geometric monodromy group is finite, almost quasisimple and has the projective special linear group $PSL_n(q)$ with $n\geq 3$ as a composition factor. We use the classification of…
We show that any compact quaternionic contact (qc) hypersurfaces in a hyper-K\"ahler manifold which is not totally umbilical has an induced qc structure, locally qc homothetic to the standard 3-Sasakian sphere. We also show that any nowhere…
We establish an equivalence between conformally Einstein--Maxwell Kahler 4-manifolds (recently studied in many works) and extremal Kahler 4-manifolds (in the sense of Calabi) with nowhere vanishing scalar curvature. The corresponding pairs…
By an additive structure on a hypersurface S in projective space we mean an effective action of commutative unipotent group on projective space which leaves S invariant and acts on S with an open orbit. It is known that these structures…
Using the Sasakian join construction with homology 3-spheres, we give a countably infinite number of examples of Sasakian manifolds with perfect fundamental group in all odd dimensions greater than 1. These have extremal Sasaki metrics with…
Starting from a complex manifold S with a real-analytic c-projective structure whose curvature has type (1,1), and a complex line bundle L with a connection whose curvature has type (1,1), we construct the twistor space Z of a quaternionic…
We prove some structure results for \emph{transverse reducible} Sasaki manifolds. In particular, we show Sasaki manifolds with positive Ricci curvature is transversely irreducible, and so there is no join (product) construction for…
