It is shown that for any compact Lie group $G$ (odd or even dimensional), the tangent bundle $TG$ admits a left-invariant integrable almost complex structure, where the Lie group structure on $TG$ is the natural one induced from $G$. The…

Geodesic orbit spaces (or g.o. spaces) are defined as those homogeneous Riemannian spaces $(M=G/H,g)$ whose geodesics are orbits of one-parameter subgroups of $G$. The corresponding metric $g$ is called a geodesic orbit metric. We study the…

A conformal transformation of a semi-Riemannian manifold is essential if there is no conformally equivalent metric for which it is an isometry. For Riemannian manifolds the existence of an essential conformal transformation forces the…

A Riemannian metric bundle G(M) is a fiber bundle over a smooth manifold M, whose fibers are the spaces of symmetric, positive-definite bilinear forms on the tangent spaces of M, which represent the Rieman?nian metrics. In this work, we aim…

We describe the structure of $d$-dimensional homogeneous Lorentzian $G$-manifolds $M=G/H$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$. Due to a result by N. Kowalsky, it is sufficient to consider the case when the group $G$ acts properly, that is the…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold. When $M$ is compact and the tangent bundle $TM$ is equipped with the Sasaki metric $g^s$, the only vector fields which define harmonic maps from $(M,g)$ to $(TM,g^s)$, are the parallel ones. The Sasaki…

In this paper we study the geometry of the total space $Y$ of a cotangent bundle to a K\"ahler manifold $N$ where $N$ is obtained as a K\"ahler reduction from $\mathbb C^n$. Using the hyperk\"ahler reduction we construct a hyperk\"ahler…

We construct a moduli space that parametrises stable proper holomorphic submersions over a fixed compact Kaehler base. Stability is described in terms of the existence of a canonical relatively Kaehler metric on the submersion, called an…

It is well known that the moduli space of flat connections on a trivial principal bundle MxG, where G is a connected Lie group, is isomorphic to the representation variety Hom(\pi_1(M), G)/G. For a tiling T, viewed as a marked copy of R^d,…

A Riemannian metric on a manifold M induces a family of Riemannian metrics on the loop space LM depending on a Sobolev space parameter s. We compute the connection forms of these metrics and the higher symbols of their curvature forms,…

Let $M$ be a cohomogeneity one manifold of a compact semisimple Lie group $G$ with one singular orbit $S_0 = G/H$. Then $M$ is $G$- diffeomorphic to the total space $G \times_H V$ of the homogeneous vector bundle over $S_0$ defined by a…

By virtue of the well-known theorem, a structure Lie group G of a principal bundle P is reducible to its closed subgroup H iff there exists a global section of the quotient bundle P/H. In gauge theory, such sections are treated as classical…

Let $G$ be a reductive linear algebraic group. The simplest example of a projective homogeneous $G$-variety in characteristic $p$, not isomorphic to a flag variety, is the divisor $x_0 y_0^p+x_1 y_1^p+x_2 y_2^p=0$ in $P^2\times P^2$, which…

Let $X$ be an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of compact type (IHSS for short). In this paper, we give the irreducible decomposition of $Sym^r T_X$. As a by-product, we give a cohomological characterization of the rank of $X$.…
