We prove that if the $f$-sectional curvature at any point $p$ of a $(2n+s)$-dimensional $f$-$(\kappa,\mu)$ manifold with $n>1$ is independent of the $f$-section at $p$, then it is constant on the manifold. Moreover, we also prove that an…

A long-standing conjecture in non-K\"ahler geometry states that if the Chern (or Levi-Civita) holomorphic sectional curvature of a compact Hermitian manifold is a constant $c$, then the metric must be K\"ahler when $c\neq 0$ and must be…

Let $M$ be a Lorentz surface and $F:M\rightarrow N$ a time-like and conformal immersion of $M$ into a 4-dimensional neutral space form $N$ with zero mean curvature vector. We see that the curvature $K$ of the induced metric on $M$ by $F$ is…

We study the motion of an $n$-dimensional closed spacelike hypersurface in a Lorentzian manifold in the direction of its past directed normal vector, where the speed equals a positive power $p$ of the mean curvature. We prove that for any…

An old open question in non-K\"ahler geometry predicts that any compact Hermitian manifold with constant holomorphic sectional curvature must be K\"ahler or Chern flat. The conjecture is known to be true in dimension $2$ due to the work by…

We show that an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with $n$-nonnegative or $n$-nonpositive curvature operator of the second kind has restricted holonomy $SO(n)$ or is flat. The result does not depend on completeness and can be improved…

We prove that every Berwald manifold with non-zero flag curvature is Riemannian. This result provides an extension of Numata and Szabo's rigidity theorems. We show that every positively curved constant isotropic Berwald manifold is…

Motivated by a recent work of Chen-Zheng [8] on Strominger space forms, we prove that a compact Hermitian surface with pointwise constant holomorphic sectional curvature with respect to a Gauduchon connection $\nabla^t $ is either K\"ahler,…

We consider an asymptotically flat Riemannian spin manifold of positive scalar curvature. An inequality is derived which bounds the Riemann tensor in terms of the total mass and quantifies in which sense curvature must become small when the…

In this manuscript, we investigate fully nonlinear prescribed curvature problems for the modified Schouten tensor on closed Riemannian manifolds with negative curvature. We prove that whenever the corresponding concave elliptic operator…

We consider a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold M endowed with a right skew-circulant tensor structure S, which is an isometry with respect to the metric g and the fourth power of S is minus identity. We determine a class of manifolds (M,…

Third-order symmetric Lorentzian manifolds, i.e. Lorentzian manifold with zero third derivative of the curvature tensor, are classified. These manifolds are exhausted by a special type of pp-waves, they generalize Cahen-Wallach spaces and…

In this article we study compact K\ahler manifolds satisfying a certain nonnegativity condition on the bisectional curvature. Under this condition, we show that the scalar curvature is nonnegative and that the first Chern class is positive…

In this short note, we investigate the effect of the local fractional derivatives on the Riemann curvature tensor that is a common tool in calculating curvature of a Riemannian manifold. For this, first we introduce a general local…

A Riemannian metric is of constant curvature if and only if it is locally projectively flat. There are infinitely many locally projectively flat Finsler metrics of constant curvature, that are special solutions to the Hilbert's Fourth…

The Kaehler manifolds of quasi-constant holomorphic sectional curvatures are introduced as Kaehler manifolds with complex distribution of codimension two, whose holomorphic sectional curvature only depends on the corresponding point and the…

We give a full classification of complete rotationally invariant surfaces with constant Gauss curvature in Berger spheres: they are either Clifford tori, which are flat, or spheres of Gauss curvature $K \geq K_0$ for a positive constant…

In this note, we show that any $n$-dimensional $\kappa$-noncollapsed steady K\"ahler-Ricci soliton with nonnegative bisectional curvature must be flat. The result is an improvement to our former work in \cite{DZ2}.

In this article, we characterize a Lorentzian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ with a semi-symmetric metric connection. At first, we consider a semi-symmetric metric connection whose curvature tensor vanishes and establish that if the associated…

We consider surfaces with constant mean curvature in certain warped product manifolds. We show that any such surface is umbilic, provided that the warping factor satisfies certain structure conditions. This theorem can be viewed as a…
