In the first part of this note we study compact Riemannian manifolds (M,g) whose Riemannian product with R is conformally Einstein. We then consider compact 6--dimensional almost Hermitian manifolds of type W_1+W_4 in the Gray--Hervella…

We classify $7$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds carrying a metric connection with parallel skew-symmetric torsion whose holonomy is contained in $\mathrm{G}_2$, up to naturally reductive homogeneous spaces and nearly parallel…

We consider strict and complete nearly Kaehler manifolds with the canonical Hermitian connection. The holonomy representation of the canonical Hermitian connection is studied. We show that a strict and complete nearly Kaehler is locally a…

We consider the reduced twistor space $Z$ of an almost Hermitian manifold $M$, after O'Brian and Rawnsley (Ann. Global Anal. Geom., 1985). We concentrate on dimension 6. This space has a natural almost complex structure $\mathcal J$…

We characterize compact locally conformal parallel $G_2$ (respectively, $Spin(7)$) manifolds as fiber bundles over $S^1$ with compact nearly K\"ahler (respectively, compact nearly parallel $G_2$) fiber. A more specific characterization is…

The class W_1 of conformal Riemannian P-manifolds is the largest class of Riemannian almost product manifolds, which is closed with respect to the group of the conformal transformations of the Riemannian metric. This class is an analogue of…

We classify six-dimensional homogeneous nearly K\"{a}hler manifolds and give a positive answer to Gray and Wolf's conjecture: every homogeneous nearly K\"{a}hler manifold is a Riemannian 3-symmetric space equipped with its canonical almost…

Explicit formulas for the $G_2$-components of the Riemannian curvature tensor on a manifold with a $G_2$ structure are given in terms of Ricci contractions. We define a conformally invariant Ricci-type tensor that determines the…

In this paper, we investigate Riemannian curvature constraints on the Kodaira dimension of compact almost Hermitian manifolds. Specifically, for a compact almost Hermitian manifold $(M, J, g)$ in the Gray-Hervella class…

If $W_+$ denotes the self dual part of the Weyl tensor of any K\"ahler 4-manifold and $S$ its scalar curvature, then the relation $|W_+|^2 = S^2/6$ is well-known. For any almost K\"ahler 4-manifold with $S \ge 0$, this condition forces the…

We establish a twistor correspondence between a cuspidal cubic curve in a complex projective plane, and a co-calibrated homogeneous $G_2$ structure on the seven--dimensional parameter space of such cubics. Imposing the Riemannian reality…

A Theorem of Kirichenko states that the torsion 3-form of the characteristic connection of a nearly K\"ahler manifold is parallel. On the other side, any almost hermitian manifold of type $\mathrm{G}_1$ admits a unique connection with…

A discussion of torsion of Riemannian G-structures leads to a survey of contributions of Alfred Gray and others on almost Hermitian manifolds, G_2-manifolds, curvature identities, volume expansions, plotting geodesics, and the geometry of…

A nearly parallel $G_{2}$-manifold $Y$ is a Riemannian 7-manifold whose cone $C(Y) = \mathbb{R}_{>0} \times Y$ has the holonomy group contained in ${\rm Spin(7)}$. In other words, it is a spin 7-manifold with a real Killing spinor. We have…

We show that any non-Kahler, almost Kahler 4-manifold for which both the Ricci and the Weyl curvatures have the same algebraic symmetries as they have for a Kahler metric is locally isometric to the (only) proper 3-symmetric 4-dimensional…

We compute the condition of minimality of a G-structure for the Gray-Hervella class $\mathcal{W}_4$ of almost hermitian manifolds and $\mathcal{C}_5$ class of almost contact metric structures. We also consider $\mathcal{C}_4$ class by…

Starting from a 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie group N endowed with an invariant SU(3) structure, we construct a homogeneous conformally parallel G_2-metric on an associated solvmanifold. We classify all half-flat SU(3) structures that endow…

We study special almost Kaehler manifolds whose curvature tensor satisfies the second curvature condition of Gray. It is shown that for such manifolds, the torsion of the first canonical Hermitian is parallel. This enables us to show that…

We characterize manifolds which are locally conformally equivalent to either complex projective space or to its negative curvature dual in terms of their Weyl curvature tensor. As a byproduct of this investigation, we classify the…

We determine the space of algebraic pseudo-Hermitian K\"ahler-Weyl curvature tensors and the space of para-Hermitian K\"ahler-Weyl curvature tensors in dimension 4 and show that every algebraic possibility is geometrically realizable. We…
