Ricci flow spacetimes were introduced by Kleiner & Lott as a way to describe Ricci flow through singularities, and have since been used elsewhere in the literature, prompting the question of their rigidity. In $(2+1)$-dimensions, we show…

We explore existence of invariant metrics with positive intermediate Ricci curvature on closed, low-dimensional cohomogeneity one manifolds. For a certain cohomogeneity one $\mathsf{Spin}(4)$-action on $S^3 \times \mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^2$,…

We announce a new proof of the uniform estimate on the curvature of solutions to the Ricci flow on a compact K\"ahler manifold $M^n$ with positive bisectional curvature. In contrast to the recent work of X. Chen and G. Tian, our proof of…

We prove that a compact stratied space satises the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition RCD(K, N) if and only if its Ricci tensor is bounded below by K $\in$ R on the regular set, the cone angle along the stratum of codimension two is…

We show that the moduli space of metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature on every homotopy ${\mathbb {R}} P^5$ has infinitely many path components. We also show that in each dimension $4k+1$ there are at least $2^{2k}$ homotopy ${\mathbb…

Four dimensional simply connected Lie groups admitting a pseudo K\"ahler metric are determined. The corresponding Lie algebras are modelized and the compatible pairs $(J,\omega)$ are parametrized up to complex isomorphism (where $J$ is a…

Classification results for complex Riemannian foliations are obtained. For open subsets of irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type, where one has explicit control over the curvature tensor, we completely classify such…

We consider smooth Riemannian surfaces whose curvature $K$ satisfies the relation $\Delta\log|K-c|=aK+b$ away from points where $K=c$ for some $(a,b,c)\in\mathbb{R}^3$, which we call generalized Ricci surfaces. We prove some isometric…

We provide a step towards classifying Riemannian four-manifolds in which the curvature tensor has zero divergence, or -- equivalently -- the Ricci tensor Ric satisfies the Codazzi equation. Every known compact manifold of this type belongs…

We construct a rotationally invariant Ricci flow through surgery starting at any closed rotationally invariant Riemannian manifold. We demonstrate that a sequence of such Ricci flows with surgery converges to a Ricci flow spacetime in the…

Among other results, a compact almost K\"ahler manifold is proved to be K\"ahler if the Ricci tensor is semi-negative and its length coincides with that of the star Ricci tensor or if the Ricci tensor is semi-positive and its first order…

A Ricci surface is a Riemannian 2-manifold $(M,g)$ whose Gaussian curvature $K$ satisfies $K\Delta K+g(dK,dK)+4K^3=0$. Every minimal surface isometrically embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is a Ricci surface of non-positive curvature. At the end…

A Riemannian manifold is said to be almost positively curved if the sets of points for which all $2$-planes have positive sectional curvature is open and dense. We show that the Grassmannian of oriented $2$-planes in $\mathbb{R}^7$ admits a…
