We define and make an initial study of (even) Riemannian supermanifolds equipped with a homological vector field that is also a Killing vector field. We refer to such supermanifolds as Riemannian Q-manifolds. We show that such Q-manifolds…

This paper provides a characterization of homogeneous curves on a geometric flag manifold which are geodesic with respect to any invariant metric. We call such curves homogeneous equigeodesics. We also characterize homogeneous equigeodesics…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. Equipping its tangent bundle $TM$ (resp. unit tangent bundle $T_1M$) by a pseudo-Riemannian $g$-natural metric $G$ (resp. $\tilde{G}$), we study the biharmonicty of vector fields (resp. unit…

We use functions of a bicomplex variable to unify the existing constructions of harmonic morphisms from a 3-dimensional Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean space to a Riemannian or Lorentzian surface. This is done by using the notion of…

The vorticity of a vector field on 3-dimensional Euclidean space is usually given by the curl of the vector field. In this paper, we extend this concept to n-dimensional compact and oriented Riemannian manifold. We analyse many properties…
