It is known that a Killing field on a compact pseudo-K\"ahler manifold is necessarily (real) holomorphic, as long as the manifold satisfies some relatively mild additional conditions. We provide two further proofs of this fact and discuss…

Conformal Killing forms are a natural generalization of conformal vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. They are defined as sections in the kernel of a conformally invariant first order differential operator. We show the existence of…

We extend the following result of Cochran ``A closed $m$-quasi Einstein manifold ($M,g,X$) with $m \ne -2$ has constant scalar curvature if and only if $X$ is Killing" covering the missing accidental case $m=-2$ and generalize it showing…

We show that given a compact, connected $m$-quasi Einstein manifold $(M,g,X)$ without boundary, the potential vector field $X$ is Killing if and only if $(M, g)$ has constant scalar curvature. This extends a result of…

In this paper, we study generalized $m$-quasi-Einstein $(M^n,g,X,\lambda)$ under natural conditions on the potential vector field. We show that, under suitable integral assumptions, the potential vector field is Killing, extending earlier…

We study 6-dimensional nearly Kahler manifolds admitting a Killing vector field of unit length. In the compact case it is shown that up to a finite cover there is only one geometry possible, that of the 3--symmetric space $S^3 \times S^3$.

We prove (Theorem 1.1.) that a class of quasi-Einstein structures on closed manifolds must admit a Killing vector field. This extends the rigidity theorem obtained in \cite{DL23} for the extremal black hole horizons and completes the…

Killing vector fields of constant length correspond to isometries of constant displacement. Those in turn have been used to study homogeneity of Riemannian and Finsler quotient manifolds. Almost all of that work has been done for group…

A vector field on a Riemannian manifold is called conformal Killing if it generates one-parameter group of conformal transformations. The class of conformal Killing symmetric tensor fields of an arbitrary rank is a natural generalization of…

The harmonic action functional allows a natural generalisation to semi-Riemannian supergeometry, referred to as superharmonic action, which resembles the supersymmetric sigma models studied in high energy physics. We show that Killing…

The study of symmetries in the realm of manifolds can be approached in two different ways. On one hand, Killing vector fields on a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold correspond to the directions of local isometries within it. On the other hand,…

The object of the present paper is to study $\beta$-almost Yamabe solitons and $\beta$-almost Ricci solitons on almost co-K\"{a}hler manifolds. In this paper, we prove that if an almost co-K\"{a}hler manifold $M$ with the Reeb vector field…
