We give a classification of many closed Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover possesses a nontrivial amount of symmetry. More precisely, we consider closed Riemannian manifolds $M$ such that Isom$(\widetilde{M})$ has noncompact…

Real Bott manifolds is a class of flat manifolds with holonomy group $\mathbb Z_2^k$ of diagonal type. In this paper we want to show how we can compute even Stiefel - Whitney classes on real Bott manifolds. This paper is an answer to the…

We describe how the loop group maps corresponding to special submanifolds associated to integrable systems may be thought of as certain Grassmann submanifolds of infinite dimensional homogeneous spaces. In general, the associated families…

We study the geometry of fanning curves in the Grassmann manifold of n-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{kn}$; we construct a complete system of invariants which solve the congruence problem. The geometry of the invariants themselves…

We generalise the Kreck-Stolz invariants s_2 and s_3 by defining a new invariant, the t-invariant, for quaternionic line bundles E over closed spin-manifolds M of dimension 4k-1 with H^3(M; \Q) = 0 such that c_2(E)\in H^4(M) is torsion. The…

We consider the Euler characteristics $\chi(M)$ of closed orientable topological $2n$-manifolds with $(n-1)$-connected universal cover and a given fundamental group $G$ of type $F_n$. We define $q_{2n}(G)$, a generalized version of the…

We prove that evolution families on complex complete hyperbolic manifolds are in one to one correspondence with certain semicomplete non-autonomous holomorphic vector fields, providing the solution to a very general Loewner type…

Let $d \geq 1$, $k \geq 2$ and $n\geq d+1$ be integers. A $d$-dimensional smooth complex algebraic variety $M$ is called a generalized Fermat variety of type $(d;k,n)$ if there is a Galois holomorphic branched covering $\pi:M \to {\mathbb…

Graph manifolds form important classes of $3$-dimensional closed and orientable manifolds. For example, {\it Seifert} manifolds are graph manifolds where hyperbolic manifolds are not. In applying singularity theory of differentiable maps to…
