The conjecture of D.Blair says that there are no nonflat Riemannian metrics of nonpositive curvature compatible with a contact structure. We prove this conjecture for a certain class of contact structures on closed 3-dimensional manifolds…
An important question with a rich history is the extent to which the symplectic category is larger than the Kaehler category. Many interesting examples of non-Kaehler symplectic manifolds have been constructed. However, sufficiently large…
A nuciferous graph is a simple graph with a non-singular $0$-$1$ adjacency matrix $A$ such that all the diagonal entries of $A^{-1}$ are zero and all the off-diagonal entries of $A^{-1}$ are non-zero. Sciriha et al. conjectured that except…
The existence of a nowhere zero real vector field implies a well-known restriction on a compact manifold. But all manifolds admit nowhere zero complex vector fields. The relation between these observations is clarified.
We construct a generalization of twistor spaces of hypercomplex manifolds and hyper-Kahler manifolds $M$, by generalizing the twistor $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ to a more general complex manifold $Q$. The resulting manifold $X$ is complex if and only…
We exhibit an example of a finitely presented monoid that is congruence-free and simple but not bisimple.
We show that there exist closed manifolds with arbitrarily small transcendental simplicial volumes. Moreover, we exhibit an explicit uncountable family of (transcendental) real numbers that are not realised as the simplicial volume of a…
We give a negative answer to a question posed by Severi in 1951, whether the Abelian Varieties are the only projective manifolds with trivial Chern classes. By Yau' s celebrated result, compact K\"ahler manifolds with trivial Chern classes…
In this paper, we provide a sufficient condition on the non-existence of the common K\"ahler submanifolds between the complex Euclidean space and the ball bundles of some Hermitian vector bundles over K\"ahler manifolds. Then we get the…
We give an explicit construction of vertex-transitive tight triangulations of $d$-manifolds for $d\geq 2$. More explicitly, for each $d\geq 2$, we construct two $(d^2+5d+5)$-vertex neighborly triangulated $d$-manifolds whose vertex-links…
It is shown that if $X$ is an Inoue surface of type $S_M$ then the irreducible components of the Douady space of $X^n$ are compact, for all $n>0$. This gives an example of an essentially saturated compact complex manifold (in the sense of…
The first example of a compact manifold admitting both complex and symplectic structures but not admitting a K\"ahler structure is the renowned Kodaira-Thurston manifold. We review its construction and show that this paradigm is very…
In this paper infinite families of examples of irreducible free and nearly free curves in the complex projective plane which are not rational curves and whose local singularites can have an arbitrary number of branches are given. All these…
Not long ago, Cirici and Wilson defined a Dolbeault cohomology on almost complex manifolds to answer Hirzebruch's problem. In this paper, we define a refined Dolbeault cohomology on almost complex manifolds. We show that the condition…
We obtain a classification theorem for non Kaehler nearly Kaehler manifolds with vanishing Bochner curvature tensor (introduced by Tricerri and Vanhecke).
It is conjectured that irreducible representations of symmetric groups have no non-trivial self-extension over fields of odd characteristic. We improve on partial results showing evidence of this conjecture.
Let X be a smooth, connected, projective variety over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. In "Flat vector bundles and the fundamental group in non-zero characteristics" (Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa Cl. Sci. (4) 2…
The underlying complex structure of an ALE K\"ahler manifold is exhibited as a resolution of a deformation of an isolated quotient singularity. As a consequence, there exist only finitely many diffeomorphism types of minimal ALE K\"ahler…
We discuss notions of almost complex, complex and K\"{a}hler structures in the realm of non-commutative geometry and investigate them for a class of finite dimensional spectral triples on the three-point space. We classify all the almost…
We show that there exist infinitely many closed 3-manifolds that do not embed in closed symplectic 4-manifolds, disproving a conjecture of Etnyre-Min-Mukherjee. To do this, we construct L-spaces that cannot bound positive or negative…
