We develop a conformal duality for spacelike graphs in Riemannian and Lorentzian three-manifolds that admit a Riemannian submersion over a Riemannian surface whose fibers are the integral curves of a Killing vector field, which is timelike…

The objective of this paper is to deepen the study of vector fields on hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb{H}^n$ that transform them into a Ricci-Bourguignon soliton. Starting from a recent work in \cite{bousso2025ricci} which characterizes these…

We study the Lie algebra of infinitesimal isometries on compact Sasakian and K--contact manifolds. On a Sasakian manifold which is not a space form or 3--Sasakian, every Killing vector field is an infinitesimal automorphism of the Sasakian…
