For $n \geq 1$, the twistor space $\mathfrak{Z}(\mathbb{S}^{2n})$ of the conformal $2n$-sphere is biholomorphic to the Zariski closure, taken in the complex Grassmannian manifold $\mathbf{G}(n+1, 2n+2)$, of the set of graphs of…
We consider principal fibre bundles with a given connection and construct almost complex structures on the total space if the adjoint bundle is isomorphic to the tangent bundle of the base. We derive the integrability condition. If the…
Any oriented 4-dimensional real vector bundle is naturally a line bundle over a bundle of quaternion algebras. In this paper we give an account of modules over bundles of quaternion algebras, discussing Morita equivalence, characteristic…
Some Pfaffian manifolds admit the construction of an associated Weyl line-bundle in which the lift of the Pfaffian structure defines a 2-form which is basic. We identify the conditions under which this construction is possible, implement…
Starting with a concise review of quaternionic geometry and quaternionic K{\"a}hler manifolds, we define a transversely quaternionic K{\"a}hler foliation. Then we formulate and prove the foliated versions of the now classical results of…
We introduce integrable complex structures on twistor spaces fibered over complex manifolds. We then show, in particular, that the twistor spaces associated with generalized Kahler, SKT and strong HKT manifolds all naturally admit complex…
Let $P(S)$ be the space of projective structures on a closed surface $S$ of genus $g >1$ and let $Q(S)$ be the subset of $P(S)$ of projective structures with quasifuchsian holonomy. It is known that $Q(S)$ consists of infinitely many…
Let $(G,g)$ be a 4-dimensional Riemannian Lie group with a 2-dimensional left-invariant, conformal foliation $\mathcal{F}$ with minimal leaves. Let $J$ be an almost Hermitian structure on $G$ adapted to the foliation $\mathcal{F}$. The…
On a para-quaternionic K\"ahler manifold $(\widetilde M^{4n},Q,\widetilde g)$, which is first of all a pseudo-Riemannian manifold, a natural definition of (almost) K\"ahler and (almost) para-K\"ahler submanifold $(M^{2m},\mathcal{J},g)$ can…
In this paper, we establish a structure theorem for a smooth projective variety $X$ with semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature. Our structure theorem contains the solution for Yau's conjecture and it can be regarded as a natural…
In this paper, we introduce the weighted mixed (sectional, Ricci and scalar) curvature of a foliated (and almost-product) Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ equipped with a vector field $X$. We define several functions ($q$th Ricci type…
We show that if a smooth multiplicative subbundle $S\subseteq TG$ on a groupoid $G\rr P$ is involutive and satisfies completeness conditions, then its leaf space $G/S$ inherits a groupoid structure over the space of leaves of $TP\cap S$ in…
We give a classification of pairs (F, f) where F is a holomorphic foliation on a projective surface and f is a non-invertible dominant rational map preserving F. We prove that both the map and the foliation are integrable in a suitable…
We summarize the foliation approach to ${\cal N}=1$ compactifications of eleven-dimensional supergravity on eight-manifolds $M$ down to $\mathrm{AdS}_3$ spaces for the case when the internal part $\xi$ of the supersymmetry generator is…
We investigate the geometry of a twisting non-shearing congruence of null geodesics on a conformal manifold of even dimension greater than four and Lorentzian signature. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the Weyl tensor for…
In this paper we show that a uniruled manifold with a split tangent bundle admits almost holomorphic fibrations that are related to the splitting. We analyse these fibrations in detail in several special cases, this yields new results about…
We show that symplectic forms taming complex structures on compact manifolds are related to special types of almost generalized K\"ahler structures. By considering the commutator $Q$ of the two associated almost complex structures…
