We establish an inequality among the Ricci curvature, the squared mean curvature, and the normal curvature for real hypersurfaces in complex space forms. We classify real hypersurfaces in two-dimensional non-flat complex space forms which…

We introduced a new coordinate-free approach to study the Cauchy-Riemann (CR) maps between the real hyperquadrics in the complex projective space. The central theme is based on a notion of orthogonality on the projective space induced by…

A necessary and sufficient condition for the leaves of a {\em non-degenerate} foliation of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold to be conformally flat is developed. The condition mimics the classical condition of the vanishing of the Weyl or Cotton…

We prove a subelliptic estimate for systems of complex vector fields under some assumptions that generalize the essential pseudoconcavity for $CR$ manifolds and H\"ormander's bracket condition for real vector fields. Applications are given…

The existence of a nowhere zero real vector field implies a well-known restriction on a compact manifold. But all manifolds admit nowhere zero complex vector fields. The relation between these observations is clarified.

We analyze the sharpness of the Sobolev order for left-invariant vector fields on compact Riemannian manifolds. Utilizing techniques from pseudo-differential operator theory and microlocal analysis, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of…

We present results indicating that the decomposition of a Ricci-flat manifold in its irreducible factors is reflected by the derived category of coherent sheaves. More precisely, we prove that a smooth projective variety that is derived…

We study the real analyticity of a CR mapping on the hypersurface $\h$ defined by $\h=\{z\in\C^n,\Re(z_n)+|z'|^2=0\}$ in model almost complex manifolds. We make use of a method of prolongation for the tangential Cauchy-Riemann equations and…

We build an analogue for the Levi-Civita connection on Riemannian manifolds for sub-Riemannian manfiolds modeled on the Heisenberg group. We demonstrate some geometric properties of this connection to justify our choice and show that this…

We reduce CR-structures on smooth elliptic and hyperbolic manifolds of CR-codimension 2 to parallelisms thus solving the problem of global equivalence for such manifolds. The parallelism that we construct is defined on a sequence of two…

Let E be a generic real submanifold of an almost complex manifold. The geometry of Bishop discs attached to E is studied in terms of the Levi form of E.

Let $X$ be a CR manifold with transversal, proper CR $G$-action. We show that $X/G$ is a complex space such that the quotient map is a CR map. Moreover the quotient is universal, i.e. every invariant CR map into a complex manifold…

We show that conformal vector fields on compact locally conformally product manifolds are orthogonal to the flat distribution and Killing with respect to the Gauduchon metric.

We present examples, both compact and non-compact complete, of lo- cally non-homogeneous proper A-manifolds.

A similarity structure on a connected manifold M is a Riemannian metric on its universal cover such that the fundamental group of M acts by similarities. If the manifold M is compact, we show that the universal cover admits a de Rham…

We study tautness properties of a Riemannian foliation by investigating a symmetric 2-tensor associated with the mean curvature of the foliation. As a consequence, we prove a tautness condition for Riemannian foliations on compact manifolds…

In these notes we survey basic concepts of affine geometry and their interaction with Riemannian geometry. We give a characterization of affine manifolds which has as counterpart those pseudo-Riemannian manifolds whose Levi-Civita…

New splitting theorems in a semi-Riemannian manifold which admits an irrotational vector field (not necessarily a gradient) with some suitable properties are obtained. According to the extras hypothesis assumed on the vector field, we can…

We provide formulas for Riemannian gradient and Levi-Civita connection for a family of metrics on fixed-rank matrix manifolds, based on nonconstant metrics on Stiefel manifolds.

Given a wedge V with generic edge in a submanifold M of $C^N$, in general, CR-functions on V do not extend to a wedge in $C^N$ in the direction of each nontrivial value of the Levi form of M as was recently observed by Eastwood and Graham.…
