A Riemann-Cartan manifold is a Riemannian manifold endowed with an affine connection which is compatible with the metric tensor. This affine connection is not necessarily torsion free. Under the assumption that the manifold is a homogeneous…

We find explicit examples of compact minitwistor spaces of genus one, whose Einstein-Weyl spaces have a connected component that is diffeomorphic to the de Sitter space. The induced Einstein-Weyl structure on it is Lorenzian, real-analytic,…

We introduce a new Weyl-invariant and generally-covariant vector-tensor theory with higher derivatives. This theory can be induced by extending the mimetic construction to vector fields of conformal weight four. We demonstrate that in…

A new class of Weyl invariant backgrounds are presented in terms of the metric $G_{\mu\nu}$ and the anti-symmetric Kalb-Ramond fields $B_{\mu\nu}$. The ten-dimensional spacetime is a product of four-dimensional flat spacetime and curved…

We present a new family of quantum Weyl algebras where the polynomial part is the quantum analog of functions on homogeneous spaces corresponding to symmetric matrices, skew symmetric matrices, and the entire space of matrices of a given…

Let $V$ be a symplectic space over $\mathbb{C}$, $dim_\mathbb{C} V=2l$, and let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $Sp(V)$. The invariant regular functions $\mathbb{C}[V]^G$ inherit a Poisson algebra structure and so the quotient variety ${\cal…

In this paper we study an analog of minimal surfaces called Weyl-minimal surfaces in conformal manifolds with a Weyl connection $(M^4,c,D)$. We show that there is an Eells-Salamon type correspondence between nonvertical…

On a Riemannian or a semi-Riemannian manifold, the metric determines invariants like the Levi-Civita connection and the Riemann curvature. If the metric becomes degenerate (as in singular semi-Riemannian geometry), these constructions no…

Analogues of the classical affine-projective correspondence are developed in the context of statistical manifolds compatible with a radiant vector field. These utilize a formulation of Einstein equations for special statistical structures…

A massless Weyl-invariant dynamics of a scalar, a Dirac spinor, and electromagnetic fields is formulated in a Weyl space, $W_4$, allowing for conformal rescalings of the metric and of all fields with nontrivial Weyl weight together with the…

The second H. Weyl curvature invariant of a Riemannian manifold, denoted $h_4$, is the second curvature invariant which appears in the well known tube formula of H. Weyl. It coincides with the Gauss-Bonnet integrand in dimension 4. A…

We extend our program, of coupling theories to scale in order to make their Weyl invariance manifest, to include interacting theories, fermions and supersymmetric theories. The results produce mass terms coinciding with the standard ones…

We construct an invariant of closed ${\rm spin}^c$ 4-manifolds using families of Seiberg-Witten equations. This invariant is formulated as a cohomology class on a certain abstract simplicial complex consisting of embedded surfaces of a…
