We study fully BPS and a broad class of half-BPS stationary configurations of four-dimensional Euclidean N=2 supergravity with higher-derivative interactions. Working within the off-shell conformal supergravity framework of de Wit and Reys…
We show that the classification of shearless and incompressible stationary fluid flows on ultrastatic manifolds is equivalent to classifying the isometries of the spatial sections. For a flow on R x S$^2$ this leaves only one possibility,…

We reduce M-theory on a G_2 orbifold with co-dimension four singularities, taking explicitly into account the additional gauge fields at the singularities. As a starting point, we use 11-dimensional supergravity coupled to seven-dimensional…

We compute the spectra of the Hessian matrix, ${\cal H}$, and the matrix ${\cal M}$ that governs the critical point equation of the low-energy effective supergravity, as a function of the complex structure and axio-dilaton moduli space in…
We present a geometric construction of a new class of hyper-Kahler manifolds with torsion. This involves the superposition of the four-dimensional hyper-Kahler geometry with torsion associated with the NS-5-brane along quaternionic planes…
Starting from a complex manifold S with a real-analytic c-projective structure whose curvature has type (1,1), and a complex line bundle L with a connection whose curvature has type (1,1), we construct the twistor space Z of a quaternionic…
Spinorial geometry methods are used to classify solutions admitting Majorana Killing spinors of the minimal 4-dimensional supergravity in neutral signature, with vanishing cosmological constant and a single Maxwell field strength. Two…
We study the space of Sasaki metrics on a compact manifold $M$ by introducing an odd-dimensional analogue of the $J$-flow. That leads to the notion of critical metric in the Sasakian context. In analogy to the K\"ahler case, on a polarised…
We introduce and study the class of totally dissipative multivalued probability vector fields (MPVF) $\boldsymbol{\mathrm F}$ on the Wasserstein space $(\mathcal{P}_2(\mathsf{X}),W_2)$ of Euclidean or Hilbertian probability measures. We…
We study magnetically-charged supersymmetric flow equations in a consistent truncation of gauged $\mathcal{N}\,=\,8$ supergravity in five dimensions. This truncation gives gauged $\mathcal{N}\,=\,2$ supergravity coupled to two vector…
We obtain height, gradient, and curvature a priori estimates for a modified mean curvature flow in Riemannian manifolds endowed with a Killing vector field. As a consequence, we prove the existence of smooth, entire, longtime solutions for…
We study the Einstein field equations for spacetimes admitting a maximal two-dimensional abelian group of isometries acting orthogonally transitively on spacelike surfaces and, in addition, with at least one conformal Killing vector. The…
We represent an algorithm reducing the $(M+1)$-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) representable in the form of one-dimensional flow $u_t + w_{x_1}(u,u_{x},u_{xx},\dots)=0$, (where $w$ is an arbitrary local function of…
The effective action in four dimensions resulting from the ten-dimensional N=1 heterotic supergravity coupled to N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills upon dimensional reduction over nearly-Kaehler manifolds is discussed. Nearly-Kaehler manifolds…
We continue our study of a general class of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric $AdS_3\times Y_7$ and $AdS_2\times Y_9$ solutions of type IIB and $D=11$ supergravity, respectively. The geometry of the internal spaces is part of a general family…
We review properties of so-called special conformal Killing tensors on a Riemannian manifold $(Q,g)$ and the way they give rise to a Poisson-Nijenhuis structure on the tangent bundle $TQ$. We then address the question of generalizing this…
We determine, in the context of five-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ gauged supergravity with vector and hypermultiplets, the conditions under which curved (non Ricci flat) supersymmetric domain wall solutions may exist. These curved BPS domain…
We classify those manifolds mentioned in the title which have finite topological type. Namely we show any such connected M is isomorphic to a hyperkaehler quotient of a flat quaternionic vector space by an abelian group. We also show that a…
