In generalized complex geometry, we revisit linear subspaces and submanifolds that have an induced generalized complex structure. We give an expression of the induced structure that allows us to deduce a smoothness criteria, we dualize the…

We put into light some generalized almost quaternionic and almost para-quaternionic structures and characterize their integrability with respect to a $\nabla$-bracket on the generalized tangent bundle $TM\oplus T^*M$ of a smooth manifold…

We show, using two different approaches, that there exists a family of Riemannian metrics on the tangent bundle of a two-sphere, which induces metrics of constant curvature on its unit tangent bundle. In other words, given such a metric on…

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold of dimension $n$ and let $m$ be a positive integer with $m\leq n$. Assume that $X$ admits a K\"ahler metric $\omega$ and a weakly positive, $\partial\bar\partial$-closed, smooth $(n-m,\,n-m)$-form…

We derive general structure and rigidity theorems for submetries $f: M \to X$, where $M$ is a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature $\sec M \ge 1$. When applied to a non-trivial Riemannian submersion, it follows that $diam X \leq…

The aim of this paper is to present some structural equations for generalized quasi-Einstein metrics which was defined recently by Catino in [12]. In addition, supposing that the Riemannian manifold is Einstein we shall show that it is a…

We consider normal almost contact structures on a Riemannian manifold and, through their associated sections of an ad-hoc twistor bundle, study their harmonicity, as sections or as maps. We rewrite these harmonicity equations in terms of…

We define the operations of conformal change and elementary deformation in the setting of generalized complex geometry. Then we apply Swann's twist construction to generalized (almost) complex and Hermitian structures obtained by these…

We show that in the context of two-dimensional sigma models minimal coupling of an ordinary rigid symmetry Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ leads naturally to the appearance of the "generalized tangent bundle" $\mathbb{T}M \equiv TM \oplus T^*M$…

For a Riemannian manifold $M$, we determine some curvature properties of a tangent bundle equipped with the rescaled metric.The main aim of this paper is to give explicit formulae for the rescaled metric on $TM$, and investigate the…

We study the conditions under which the tangent bundle $(TM,G)$ of an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ is conformally flat, where $G$ is a general natural lifted metric of $g$. We prove that the base manifold must have constant…

We prove vanishing results for the generalized Miller-Morita-Mumford classes of some smooth bundles whose fiber is a closed manifold that supports a nonpositively curved Riemannian metric. We also find, under some extra conditions, that the…

We characterise the integrability of any co-CR quaternionic structure in terms of the curvature and a generalized torsion of the connection. Also, we apply this result to obtain, for example, the following. (1) New co-CR quaternionic…

Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…

Given a real-analytic Riemannian manifold M there exists a canonical complex structure on part of its tangent bundle which turns leaves of the Riemannian foliation on TM into holomorphic curves. A Grauert tube over M of radius r, denoted as…

Generalized Kahler geometry is the natural analogue of Kahler geometry, in the context of generalized complex geometry. Just as we may require a complex structure to be compatible with a Riemannian metric in a way which gives rise to a…
