We investigate ghost-free vector-tensor theories in metric-affine geometry. In all of our analysis, we start with the Lagrangian containing up to quadratic terms of first-order derivatives of a vector field. To obtain ghost-free…

We show how the rigid conformal supersymmetries associated with a certain class of pseudo-Riemannian spin manifolds define a Lie superalgebra. The even part of this superalgebra contains conformal isometries and constant R-symmetries. The…

The authors first in this paper define a semi-symmetric metric non-holonomic connection (called in briefly a semi-sub-Riemannian connection) on sub-Riemannian manifolds, and study the relations between sub-Riemannian connections and…

We present a new method for classifying naturally reductive homogeneous spaces -- i.\,e.~homogeneous Riemannian manifolds admitting a metric connection with skew torsion that has parallel torsion \emph{and} curvature. This method is based…

In this work we introduce the notion of constant angle null hypersurface of a Lorentzian manifold with respect to a given ambient vector field. We analyze the case in which the vector field is closed and conformal, thus finding that such…

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 consider the class of compact Hermitian manifolds whose Chern connection is Ambrose-Singer, namely, it has parallel torsion and curvature. We prove structure theorems for such manifolds.

Second-order (maximally) conformally superintegrable systems play an important role as models of mechanical systems, including systems such as the Kepler-Coulomb system and the isotropic harmonic oscillator. The present paper is dedicated…

We obtain all the three-dimensional Lorentzian metrics which admit three Killing vectors. The classification has been done with the aid of the formalism which exploits the obstruction criteria for the Killing equations recently developed by…

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…

This article surveys results for Riemannian manifolds of positive and non-negative sectional curvature with symmetries.

On smooth manifolds of dimension $n \ge 4$, we prove that the torsion and curvature are, up to a scalar factor, the only pair of a vector-valued 2-form and an endomorphism-valued 2-form naturally associated with a linear connection that…

In the first part of this series of papers we developed the invariant differentiation with respect to a Cartan connection, we described this procedure in the terms of the underlying principal connections, and we discussed applications of…

We classify closed, simply connected $n$-manifolds of non-negative sectional curvature admitting an isometric torus action of maximal symmetry rank in dimensions $2\leq n\leq 6$. In dimensions $3k$, $k=1,2$ there is only one such manifold…

On connected manifolds of dimension higher than three, the non-existence of $132$ Chinea and Gonz\'alez-D\'avila types of almost contact metric structures is proved. This is a consequence of some interrelations among components of the…

The object of the present paper is to study invariant submanifolds of (LCS)n-manifolds with respect to quarter symmetric metric connection. It is shown that the mean curvature of an invariant submanifold of (LCS)n-manifold with respect to…

Linear connections are introduced on a series of noncommutative geometries which have commutative limits. Quasicommutative corrections are calculated.

We describe four-dimensional Lorentzian algebraic Ricci solitons. In sharp contrast with the Riemannian situation, any connected and simply connected four-dimensional Lie group admits a left-invariant Lorentz metric which is a Ricci…

Using the recently advanced Galilean gauge theory (GGT) we give a comprehensive construction of torsional Newton Cartan geometry. The coupling of a Galilean symmetric model with background NC geometry following GGT is illustrated by a free…

A Theorem of Kirichenko states that the torsion 3-form of the characteristic connection of a nearly K\"ahler manifold is parallel. On the other side, any almost hermitian manifold of type $\mathrm{G}_1$ admits a unique connection with…
