In this article we show that in any dimension there exist infinitely many pairs of formally contact isotopic isocontact embeddings into the standard contact sphere which are not contact isotopic. This is the first example of rigidity for…

Using Lie groups with left-invariant complex structure, we construct new examples of compact complex manifolds with flat affine structure in arbitrarly high dimensions. In the 2-dimensional case, we retrieve the Inoue surfaces $S^+$.

The main result states that a connected conic singular sub-manifold of a Riemannian manifold, compact when the ambient manifold is non-Euclidean, is Lipschitz Normally Embedded: the outer and inner metric space structures are metrically…

We generalise the notion of contact manifold by allowing the contact distribution to have codimension two. There are special features in dimension six. In particular, we show that the complex structure on a three-dimensional complex contact…

Recently there has been an increasing interest in the study of generalized symmetries in dimensions higher than two. This has lead to the discovery of various manifestations of generalized symmetries, notably higher-group and non-invertible…

The twistor construction for Riemannian manifolds is extended to the case of manifolds endowed with generalized metrics (in the sense of generalized geometry \`a la Hitchin). The generalized twistor space associated to such a manifold is…
