This note proves the geodesic completeness of any compact manifold endowed with a linear connection such that the closure of its holonomy group is compact.

An affine manifold is a manifold with torsion-free flat affine connection. A geometric topologist's definition of an affine manifold is a manifold with an atlas of charts to the affine space with affine transition functions; a radiant…

In this paper we prove that for a complete, connected and oriented K\"{a}ler affine manifold $(M,G)$ of dimension $n,$ if it is K\"ahler affine Ricci flat or the K$\ddot{a}$hler affine scalar curvature $S\equiv0,$ ($n\leq 5$), then the…

This thesis is concerned with equidistant foliations of Euclidean space, i.e. partitions into complete, connected, properly embedded smooth submanifolds. The space of leaves is an Alexandrov space of nonnegative curvature and the canonical…

The following results are proved: Theorem 1. A totally real semiparallel submanifold of constant curvature with parallel f-structure in the normal bundle of a K\"ahler manifold N is flat or a totally geodesic submanifold of N. Theorem 2. A…

I extend the framework of rigid analytic geometry to the setting of algebraic geometry relative to monoids, and study the associated notions of separated, proper, and overconvergent morphisms. The category of affine manifolds embeds as a…

We show that submanifolds of Euclidean space which are calibrated by a constant-coefficient differential form and have flat normal bundles are planes. In fact, in a Riemannian manifold equipped with a parallel calibration, a calibrated…

To every real analytic Riemannian manifold M there is associated a complex structure on a neighborhood of the zero section in the real tangent bundle of M. This structure can be uniquely specified in several ways, and is referred to as a…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, $\pi:\widetilde{M}\rightarrow M$ be the universal covering and $\omega$ be a smooth $2$-form on $M$ with $\pi^*\omega$ cohomologous to zero. Suppose the fundamental group $\pi_1(M)$ satisfies…

An affine manifold is said to be geodesically complete if all affine geodesics extend for all time. It is said to be affine Killing complete if the integral curves for any affine Killing vector field extend for all time. We use the solution…

We provide an estimate of the amenable category of oriented closed connected complete affine manifolds whose fundamental group contains an infinite amenable normal subgroup. As an application we show that all such manifolds have zero…

We give examples of closed, oriented 3-manifolds whose fundamental groups are not isomorphic, but yet have the same sets of finite quotient groups; hence the same profinite completions. We also give examples of compact, oriented 3-manifolds…

A rigidity result for a class of compact generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds with constant scalar curvature is obtained. Moreover, under some geometric assumptions, the rigidity for the noncompact case is also proved. Considering non…

On a real analytic Riemannian manifold a Grauert tube is an uniquely adapted complex structure defined on the tangent bundle. It is called entire if it may be defined on the whole tangent bundle. Here, we show that the geodesic flow of an…

In this work, we show that complete non-compact manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature, Euclidean volume growth and sufficiently small curvature concentration are necessarily flat Euclidean space.

Given a complex manifold $X$, any K\"ahler class defines an affine bundle over $X$, and any K\"ahler form in the given class defines a totally real embedding of $X$ into this affine bundle. We formulate conditions under which the affine…

A submanifold is said to be tangentially biharmonic if the bitension field of the isometric immersion that defines the submanifold has vanishing tangential component. The purpose of this paper is to prove that a surface in Euclidean…

This paper investigates which smooth manifolds arise as quotients (orbit spaces) of flows of vector fields. Such quotient maps were already known to be surjective on fundamental groups, but this paper shows that every epimorphism of…

We study holomorphic geometric structures on non-K\"ahler compact complex manifolds with trivial canonical line bundle. For Vaisman Calabi-Yau manifolds we prove that all holomorphic geometric structures of affine type on them are locally…

Our aim here is to investigate the holomorphic geometric structures on compact complex manifolds which may not be K\"ahler. We prove that holomorphic geometric structures of affine type on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds with polystable…
