We show that there are high-dimensional smooth compact manifolds which admit pairs of Einstein metrics for which the scalar curvatures have opposite signs. These are counter-examples to a conjecture considered by Besse. The proof hinges on…
This is a survey on the correspondence between asymptotically complex hyperbolic Einstein metrics and CR structures on the boundary at infinity, which is the complex version of that between Poincar\'e-Einstein metrics and conformal…
We show that there exist infinitely many families of Sasaki-Einstein metrics on every odd-dimensional standard sphere of dimension at least $5$. We also show that the same result is true for all odd-dimensional exotic spheres that bound…
We provide, through the framework of extended geometry, a geometrisation of the duality symmetries appearing in magical supergravities. A new ingredient is the general formulation of extended geometry with structure group of non-split real…
We consider spin manifolds with an Einstein metric, either Riemannian or indefinite, for which there exists a Killing spinor. We describe the intrinsic geometry of nondegenerate hypersurfaces in terms of a PDE satisfied by a pair of induced…
Supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models have target spaces that carry interesting geometry. The geometry is richer the more supersymmetries the model has. The study of models with two dimensional world sheets is particularly rewarding since…
We study curvature properties of four-dimensional Lorentzian manifold with two-symmetry property. We then consider Einstein-like metrics, Ricci solitons and homogeneity over these spaces.
We introduce generalized almost contact structures which admit the $B$-field transformations on odd dimensional manifolds. We provide definition of generalized Sasakain structures from the view point of the generalized almost contact…

In this article, we consider Einstein-type manifolds with boundary which generalizes important geometric equations, like static vacuum and static perfect fluid. We investigate some geometric inequalities for those manifolds. Then, we…
The physical consistency of the match of piecewise-$C^0$ metrics is discussed. The mathematical theory of gravitational discontinuity hypersurfaces is generalized to cover the match of regularly discontinuous metrics. The mean-value…
The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the set of closed geodesics is dense in the space of geodesics.
Super coset spaces play an important role in the formulation of supersymmetric theories. The aim of this paper is to review and discuss the geometry of super coset spaces with particular focus on the way the geometrical structures of the…
We show that the standard definitions of Sasaki structures have elegant and simplifying interpretations in terms of projective differential geometry. For Sasaki-Einstein structures we use projective geometry to provide a resolution of such…
In this note, we find a necessary condition on odd-dimensional Riemannian manifolds under which both of Sasakian structure and the generalised Ricci soliton equation are satisfied, and we give some examples.
This paper contains a thorough introduction to the basic geometric properties of the manifold of Lagrangian subspaces of a linear symplectic space, known as the Lagrangian Grassmannian. It also reviews the important relationship between…
The authors study the geometry of lightlike hypersurfaces on manifolds $(M, c)$ endowed with a pseudoconformal structure $c = CO (n - 1, 1)$ of Lorentzian signature. Such hypersurfaces are of interest in general relativity since they can be…
We introduce new metric structures on a smooth manifold (called "weak" structures) that generalize the almost contact, Sasakian, cosymplectic, etc. metric structures $(\varphi,\xi,\eta,g)$ and allow us to take a fresh look at the classical…
We analyze from a general perspective all possible supersymmetric generalizations of symplectic and metric structures on smooth manifolds. There are two different types of structures according to the even/odd character of the corresponding…
Quasi contact metric manifolds (introduced by Y. Tashiro and then studied by several authors) are a natural extension of the contact metric manifolds. Weak almost contact metric manifolds, i.e., the linear complex structure on the contact…
