We demonstrate that the moduli space of Hermitian-Einstein connections $\text{M}^*_{HE}(M^{2n})$ of vector bundles over compact non-Gauduchon Hermitian manifolds $(M^{2n}, g, \omega)$ that exhibit a dilaton field $\Phi$ admit a strong…

We study complete scalar-flat Kahler manifolds with a Killing field and a mild asymptotic condition. We show that topological and geometric rigidities exist that powerfully restrict the manifold's behavior at infinity. We create a rough…

In this paper we examine different aspects of the geometry of closed conformal vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. We begin by getting obstructions to the existence of closed conformal and nonparallel vector fields on complete manifolds…

The construction of conformally invariant gauge conditions for Maxwell and Einstein theories on a manifold M is found to involve two basic ingredients. First, covariant derivatives of a linear gauge (e.g. Lorenz or de Donder), completely…

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…

We study the a.s. convergence of a sequence of random embeddings of a fixed manifold into Euclidean spaces of increasing dimensions. We show that the limit is deterministic. As a consequence, we show that many intrinsic functionals of the…

Two solutions of the coupled Einstein-Maxwell field equations are found by means of the Horsky-Mitskievitch generating conjecture. The vacuum limit of those obtained classes of spacetimes is the seed gamma-metric and each of the generated…

We prove a generalized version of the Morse index theorem for geodesics endowed with a non positive definite metric tensor (semi-Riemannian manifolds). We apply the result to obtain lower estimates on the number of geodesics joining two…

The aim of this paper is to introduce and justify a possible generalization of the classic Bach field equations on a four dimensional smooth manifold $M$ in presence of field $\varphi$, that in this context is given by a smooth map with…

Motivated by open problems in F-theory, we reconsider warped compactifications of M theory on 8-manifolds to AdS3 spaces in the presence of a non-trivial field strength of the M-theory 3-form, studying the most general conditions under…

This paper is the initial part of a comprehensive study of spacetimes that admit the canonical forms of Killing tensor in General Relativity. The general scope of the study is to derive either new exact solutions of Einstein's equations…

The existence of a vector field on a compact Kaehler manifold with nonempty zero locus and the properties of this zero locus strongly influence the geometry of the manifold. For example, J. Wahl proved that the existence of a vector field…

In this paper we present some structural results on the Lie algebras of transitive isometry groups of a general compact homogenous Riemannian manifold with nontrivial Killing vector fields of constant length.

We show the existence of a Hawking vector field in a full neighborhood of a local, regular, bifurcate, non-expanding horizon embedded in a smooth Einstein-Maxwell space-time without assuming the underlying space-time is analytic. It extends…

We show that the borderline cases in the proof of the positive energy theorem for initial data sets, on spin manifolds, in dimensions $n\ge 3$, are only possible for initial data arising from embeddings in Minkowski space-time.

In this paper, it is proved that a connected 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold or a closed connected semi-Riemannian manifold $M^n$($n>1$) admitting a projective vector field with a non-linearizable singularity is projectively flat.

We consider Einstein gravity coupled to an n-form field strength in D dimensions. Such a theory cannot be supersymmetrized in general, we nevertheless propose a pseudo-Killing spinor equation and show that the AdS X Sphere vacua have the…

The aim of this paper is to study complete (noncompact) steady $m$-quasi-Einstein manifolds satisfying a fourth-order vanishing condition on the Weyl tensor. In this case, we are able to prove that a steady $m$-quasi-Einstein manifold…
