In this paper, we provide a correspondence between certain 5-dimensional complex spacetimes and 4-dimensional twistor spaces. The spacetimes are almost contact manifolds whose curvature tensor satisfies certain conditions. By using the…

This proceeding presents a synthesis of recent results on the emergence of pseudo-Riemannian structures from twisted spectral triples within the almostcommutative framework. It provides a unified algebraic mechanism for addressing the…

We define analytic maps between super Riemann surfaces which extend the notion of branched covering maps to a supersymmetric setting. We show that these super covering maps appear naturally both in symmetric product orbifolds of…

In this paper, we will investigate the geodesic mappings of some special Riemannian manifolds. First, we will prove that if there exists an Einstein tensor preserving geodesic mapping from a quasi Einstein manifold $V_{n}$ onto a Riemannian…

We deal here with the geometry of the twistor fibration $\mathcal{Z} \to \bb{S}^3_1$ over the De Sitter 3-space. The total space $\mathcal{Z}$ is a five dimensional reductive homogeneous space with two canonical invariant almost CR…

We first make a little survey of the twistor theory for hypercomplex, generalized hypercomplex, quaternionic or generalized quaternionic manifolds. This last theory was iniated by Pantilie, who shows that any generalized almost quaternionic…

A general construction is given for a class of invertible maps between the classical $U(sl(2))$ and the Jordanian $U_{h}(sl(2))$ algebras. Different maps are directly useful in different contexts. Similarity trasformations connecting them,…

This is a survey of the twistor lifts of surfaces in $4$-dimensional spaces. In most part of this survey, the space is Euclidean $4$-space $E^4$. The definitions of the Gauss maps and the twistor lifts of surfaces in $E^4$ are given by…

The theory of twistors on foliated manifolds is developed and the twistor space of the normal bundle is constructed. It is demonstrated that the classical constructions of the twistor theory lead to foliated objects and permit to formulate…

Superconformal geometries in spacetime dimensions $D=3,4,{5}$ and $6$ are discussed in terms of local supertwistor bundles over standard superspace. These natually admit superconformal connections as matrix-valued one-forms. In order to…

By the Riemann-mapping theorem, one can bijectively map the interior of an $n$-gon $P$ to that of another $n$-gon $Q$ conformally. However, (the boundary extension of) this mapping need not necessarily map the vertices of $P$ to those $Q$.…

We introduce slant Riemannian maps from Riemannian manifolds to almost Hermitian manifolds as a generalization of slant immersions, invariant Riemannian maps and anti-invariant Riemannian maps. We give examples, obtain characterizations and…

Quasi-vertex-transitive maps are the homogeneous maps on the plane with finitely many vertex orbits under the action of their automorphism groups. We show that there exist quasi-vertex-transitive maps of types $[p^3, 3]$ for $p \equiv 1$…
