We explore the notion of discrete spectrum and its various characterizations for ergodic measure-preserving actions of an amenable group on a compact metric space. We introduce a notion of 'weak-tameness', which is a measure-theoretic…

We consider an almost complex manifold with Norden metric (i. e. a metric with respect to which the almost complex structure is an anti-isometry). On such a manifold we study a linear connection preserving the almost complex structure and…

A 4-parametric family of 4-dimensional quasi-Kaehler manifolds with Norden metric is constructed on a Lie group. This family is characterized geometrically. The condition for such a 4-manifold to be isotropic Kaehler is given.

A simple, novice-friendly scheme for classifying the image configurations of quadruply lensed quasars is proposed. With only six classes, it is intentionally coarse-grained. It focuses on the kitelikeness and circularity of these…

We first make a little survey of the twistor theory for hypercomplex, generalized hypercomplex, quaternionic or generalized quaternionic manifolds. This last theory was iniated by Pantilie, who shows that any generalized almost quaternionic…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold of dimension $n$ and fix $m\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $1\leq m \leq n$. We prove that any $(\omega,m)$-sh function can be approximated from above by smooth $(\omega,m)$-sh functions. A…

In this paper we give a classification of cohomogeneity one manifolds admitting an invariant metric with quasipositive sectional curvature except for two $7$-dimensional families. The main result carries over almost verbatim from the…

We prove that if the fundamental 4-form of an almost-quaternionic Hermitian manifold (M, Q, g) of dimension at least eight satisfies the conformal-Killing equation, then (M, Q, g) is quaternionic-Kahler.

We show the existence of a bounded solution to the Cauchy problem for the complex Monge-Amp\`ere flow on a compact K\"ahler manifold, with the right-hand side of the form $dt \wedge d\mu$ where $d\mu$ is dominated by a Monge-Amp\`ere…

In this paper we investigate the Kodaira dimension of almost complex $4$-manifolds with torsion first Chern class. First, we prove that, if the almost complex structure is also tamed, the only possible values for the Kodaira dimension are…

In this paper we study almost complex manifolds admitting a quasi-K\"ahler Chern-flat metric (Chern-flat means that the holonomy of the Chern connection is trivial). We prove that in the compact case such manifolds are all nilmanifolds.…

Let $(X,J,\omega,g)$ be a complete $n$-dimensional K\"ahler manifold. A Theorem by Gromov \cite{G} states that the if the K\"ahler form is $d$-bounded, then the space of harmonic $L_2$ forms of degree $k$ is trivial, unless $k=\frac{n}{2}$.…

We study cohomologies on an almost complex manifold $(M, J)$, defined using the Nijenhuis-Lie derivations $\mathcal{L}_J$ and $\mathcal{L}_N$ induced from the almost complex structure $J$ and its Nijenhuis tensor $N$, regarded as…

The four-dimensional effective theory for type IIB warped flux compactifications proposed in [1] is completed by taking into account the backreaction of the K\"ahler moduli on the three-form fluxes. The only required modification consists…

We show that a closed almost K\"ahler 4-manifold of globally constant holomorphic sectional curvature $k\geq 0$ with respect to the canonical Hermitian connection is automatically K\"ahler. The same result holds for $k<0$ if we require in…

We define and study branched shadows of 4-manifolds as a combination of branched spines of 3-manifolds and Turaev's shadows. We use these objects to combinatorially represent 4-manifolds equipped with $Spin^c$-structures and homotopy…

Riemannian four-manifolds in which the triple contraction of the curvature tensor against itself yields a functional multiple of the metric are called weakly Einstein. We focus on weakly Einstein K\"ahler surfaces. We provide several…

The basic class of the non-integrable almost complex manifolds with a pair of Norden metrics are considered. The interconnections between corresponding quantities at the transformation between the two Levi-Civita connections are given. A…

We present an explicit construction of closed oriented aspherical smooth 4-manifolds with $\chi = \sigma = n$ for every positive integer $n$. This proves a conjecture of Edmonds by providing a closed oriented aspherical 4-manifold with…

In our previous works on deformation limits of projective and Moishezon manifolds, we introduced and made crucial use of the notion of strongly Gauduchon metrics as a reinforcement of the earlier notion of Gauduchon metrics. Using direct…
