Heckenberger introduced the Weyl groupoid of a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra of diagonal type. We replace the matrix of its braiding by a higher tensor and present a construction which yields further Weyl groupoids. Abelian cohomology…

A new method for the construction of conformally invariant equations in an arbitrary four dimensional (pseudo-) Riemannian space is presented. This method uses the Weyl geometry as a tool and exploits the natural conformal invariance we can…

We classify the possible local holonomy groups of Weyl connections. The Berger-Simons theorem and the Merkulov-Schwachh\"ofer classification of holonomy groups of irreducible torsion-free connections leaves us with the remaining case, where…

A Riemannian manifold is called Weyl homogeneous, if its Weyl tensors at any two points are "the same", up to a positive multiple. A Weyl homogeneous manifold is modeled on a homogeneous space $M_0$, if its Weyl tensor at every point is…

On four-dimensional closed manifolds we introduce a class of canonical Riemannian metrics, that we call weak harmonic Weyl metrics, defined as critical points in the conformal class of a quadratic functional involving the norm of the…

The Weyl conformal tensor is the traceless component of the Riemann tensor and therefore, as is known, the information it contains does not appear explicitly in Einstein's equation. Following a rigorous mathematical treatment based on the…
