We study generalized Killing spinors on round spheres $\mathbb{S}^n$. We show that on the standard sphere $\mathbb{S}^8$ any generalized Killing spinor has to be an ordinary Killing spinor. Moreover we classify generalized Killing spinors…

The basics of quasitriangular Hopf algebras and quantum Lie algebras are briefly reviewed, and it is shown that their properties allow the introduction of a Killing form. For quantum Lie algebras, this leads to the definitions of a Killing…

We consider geometric and supergravity Killing spinors and the spinor bilinears constructed out of them. The spinor bilinears of geometric Killing spinors correspond to the antisymmetric generalizations of Killing vector fields which are…

We describe and to some extent characterize a new family of K\"ahler spin manifolds admitting non-trivial imaginary K\"ahlerian Killing spinors.

Let M be an almost complex manifold equipped with a Hermitian form such that its de Rham differential has Hodge type (3,0)+(0,3), for example a nearly Kahler manifold. We prove that any connected component of the moduli space of…

The aim of this paper is to present the first examples of compact, simply connected holomorphically pseudosymmetric Kahler manifolds.

We study the relation between the existence of null conformal Killing vector fields and existence of compatible complex and para-hypercomplex structures on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold with metric of signature (2,2). We establish first the…

We prove that any nilpotent regular covering over a compact K\"ahler surface is holomorphically convex if it does not have two ends. Furthermore, we show that the Malcev covering of any compact K\"ahler manifold has at most one end.

Killing forms on Riemannian manifolds are differential forms whose covariant derivative is totally skew-symmetric. We show that on a compact manifold with holonomy G2 or Spin7 any Killing form has to be parallel. The main tool is a…

We classify compact K\"ahler surfaces with nonconstant Killing potentials such that all integral curves of their gradients are reparametrized geodesics.

A vector field $V$ on any (semi-)Riemannian manifold is said to be mixed Killing if for some nonzero smooth function $f$, it satisfies $L_VL_Vg=fL_Vg$, where $L_V$ is the Lie derivative along $V$. This class of vector fields, as a…

We show that $3$-$(\alpha,\delta)$-Sasaki manifolds admit solutions of a certain new spinorial field equation (the $\mathcal{H}$-Killing equation) generalizing the well-known Killing spinors on $3$-Sasakian manifolds. These…

Some basic theorems on Killing vector fields are reviewed. In particular, the topic of a constant-curvature space is examined. A detailed proof is given for a theorem describing the most general form of the metric of a homogeneous isotropic…

Using the theory of totally real number fields we construct a new class of compact complex non-K{\"a}hler manifolds in every even complex dimension and study their analytic and geometric properties.

This article generalizes the result of Katzarkov and Ramachandran from algebraic surfaces to K\"ahler surfaces. We follow their argument to prove the holomorphic convexity of a reductive Galois covering over a compact K\"ahler surface which…

Suppose that $\Sigma=\partial\Omega$ is the $n$-dimensional boundary, with positive (inward) mean curvature $H$, of a connected compact $(n+1)$-dimensional Riemannian spin manifold $(\Omega^{n+1},g)$ whose scalar curvature $R\ge…

We show that, under the definiteness of holomorphic sectional curvature, the spaces of some holomorphic tensor fields on compact Chern-K\"{a}hler-like Hermitian manifolds are trivial. These can be viewed as counterparts to Bochner's…

I prove the two-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian version of the projective Obata conjecture stating that on a closed manifold different from the round sphere every projective (i.e., geodesic-preserving) vector field is Killing.

The harmonic action functional allows a natural generalisation to semi-Riemannian supergeometry, referred to as superharmonic action, which resembles the supersymmetric sigma models studied in high energy physics. We show that Killing…

Let $M$ be a pseudo-Riemannian spin manifold of dimension $n$ and signature $s$ and denote by $N$ the rank of the real spinor bundle. We prove that $M$ is locally homogeneous if it admits more than ${3/4}N$ independent Killing spinors with…
