Every closed connected Riemannian spin manifold of non-zero $\hat{A}$-genus or non-zero Hitchin invariant with non-negative scalar curvature admits a parallel spinor, in particular is Ricci-flat. In this note, we generalize this result to…

For any semi-Riemannian manifold (M,g) we define some generalized curvature tensor as a linear combination of Kulkarni-Nomizu products formed by the metric tensor, the Ricci tensor and its square of given manifold. That tensor is closely…

Consider a Riemannian spin manifold $(M^{n}, g)$ $(n\geq 3)$ endowed with a non-trivial 3-form $T\in\Lambda^{3}T^{*}M$, such that $\nabla^{c}T=0$, where $\nabla^{c}:=\nabla^{g}+\frac{1}{2}T$ is the metric connection with skew-torsion $T$.…

We describe, by their holonomy groups, all simply connected irreducible non-locally symmetric pseudo-Riemannian SpinC manifolds which admit parallel spinors. So we generalise the Riemannian case and the pseudo-Riemannian one.

We prove several Liouville-type non-existence theorems for higher order Codazzi tensors and classical Codazzi tensors on complete and compact Riemannian manifolds, in particular. These results will be obtained by using theorems of the…

A Sasakian quasi-Killing spinor (SqK-spinor), which is a generalization of a Killing spinor on Sasakian manifolds, was defined in \cite{Kim Friedrich 2000}.The purpose of this paper is to study in detail SqK-spinors on three-dimensional…
