Essential $\aleph_0$-categoricity; i.e., $\aleph_0$-categoricity in some full countable language, is shown to be a robust notion for strongly minimal compact complex manifolds. Characterisations of triviality and essential…

We define the notion of a Killing (super)algebra for a connection on a spinor bundle associated to a generalised spin structure on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of any signature. We are led naturally to include in the even subspace not only…

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…

There is an important difference between Hamiltonian-like vector fields in an almost-symplectic manifold $(M,\sigma)$, compared to the standard case of a symplectic manifold: in the almost-symplectic case, a vector field such that the…

We show that if a connected compact k\"ahlerian surface $M$ with nonpositive gaussian curvature is furnished with a closed conformal vector field $\xi$ whose singular points are isolated, then $M$ is isometric to a flat torus and $\xi$ is…

We prove that any smooth vacuum spacetime containing a compact Cauchy horizon with surface gravity that can be normalised to a non-zero constant admits a Killing vector field. This proves a conjecture by Moncrief and Isenberg from 1983…

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…
