We investigate generalisations of Hitchin's functionals, whose critical points correspond to nearly K\"ahler and nearly parallel $G_2$-structures. Our focus is on the gradient flow of these functionals and the spectral decomposition of…
We show that integrability of an almost complex structure in complex dimension $m$ is equivalent, in the presence of an almost hermitian metric, to $m(m-1)$ equations involving what we call shear operators. Inspired by this, we give an…
In this article, we consider the almost Hermitian structure on $TM$ induced by a pair of a metric and an affine connection on $M$. We find the conditions under which $TM$ admits almost K\"ahler structures, K\"ahler structures and Einstein…
We study nearly-Kahler 6-manifolds equipped with a cohomogeneity-two Lie group action for which the principal orbits are coisotropic. If the metric is complete, then we show that this last condition is automatically satisfied, and both the…
Let $G/H$ be a connected, simply connected homogeneous space of a compact Lie group $G$. We study $G$-invariant quasi-Einstein metrics on the cohomogeneity one manifold $G/H\times (0,1)$ imposing the so-called monotypic condition on $G/H$.…
On a 3-manifold bounding a compact 4-manifold, let a conformal structure be induced from a complete Einstein metric which conformally compactifies to a K\"ahler metric. Formulas are derived for the eta invariant of this conformal structure…
Given a non compact semisimple Lie group $G$ we describe all homogeneous spaces $G/L$ carrying an invariant almost K\"ahler structure $(\omega,J)$. When $L$ is abelian and $G$ is of classical type, we classify all such spaces which are…
On $4$-symmetric symplectic spaces, invariant almost complex structures -- up to sign -- arise in pairs. We exhibit some $4$-symmetric symplectic spaces, with a pair of "natural" compatible (usually not positive) invariant almost complex…
Derived equivalences of twisted K3 surfaces induce twisted Hodge isometries between them; that is, isomorphisms of their cohomologies which respect certain natural lattice structures and Hodge structures. We prove a criterion for when a…
We use some natural lifts defined on the cotangent bundle T*M of a Riemannian manifold (M,g) in order to construct an almost Hermitian structure (G,J) of diagonal type. The obtained almost complex structure J on T*M is integrable if and…
A para-K\"ahler manifold can be defined as a pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with a parallel skew-symmetric para-complex structures $K$, i.e. a parallel field of skew-symmetric endomorphisms with $ K^2 = \mathrm{Id} $ or, equivalently,…
For a compact K\"ahler manifold, it is well-established that its de Rham cohomology satisfies the Hard Lefschetz condition, which is reflected in the equality between the Betti numbers and the Hodge numbers. A special subclass of symplectic…
The aim of this paper is to show the existence and give an explicit description of a pseudo-Riemannian metric and a symplectic form on the $\mathrm{S}\mathrm{L}(3,\mathbb{R})$-Hitchin component, both compatible with Labourie and Loftin's…
This thesis is split up into two parts: The first one concerns (pseudo)-holomorphic Hamiltonian systems, while the second part is about K\"ahler structures of complex coadjoint orbits. We begin the first part by investigating basic…
There is a rich theory of so-called (strict) nearly Kaehler manifolds, almost-Hermitian manifolds generalising the famous almost complex structure on the 6-sphere induced by octonionic multiplication. Nearly Kaehler 6-manifolds play a…
We use the natural lifts of the fundamental tensor field g to the cotangent bundle T*M of a Riemannian manifold (M,g), in order to construct an almost Hermitian structure (G,J) of diagonal type on T*M. The obtained almost complex structure…
Any $6$-dimensional strict nearly K\"ahler manifold is Einstein with positive scalar curvature. We compute the coindex of the metric with respect to the Einstein-Hilbert functional on each of the compact homogeneous examples. Moreover, we…
In earlier work we have shown that for certain geometric structures on a smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $n$, one obtains an almost para-K\"ahler--Einstein metric on a manifold $A$ of dimension $2n$ associated to the structure on $M$. The…
We show that the almost complex Hodge number $h^{0,1}$ varies with different choices of almost K\"ahler metrics. This answers the almost K\"ahler version of a question of Kodaira and Spencer.
A systematic study of the contributions at infinity for the cohomology of variations of polarized Hodge structures over quasicompact K\"ahler manifolds. Several isomorphisms between different cohomologies given.
