We study the $\rm{SU}(3)$-structure induced on an oriented hypersurface of a 7-dimensional manifold with a nearly parallel $\rm{G}_2$-structure. We call such $\rm{SU}(3)$-structures nearly half-flat. We characterise the left invariant…

There exist non-degenerate 3-form $d\omega_I$, $\omega_I(X,Y)=g(IX,Y)$, for each leftinvariant almost Hermitian structure $(g,I)$, where $g$ is Killing-Cartan metric on the $M=S^3\times S^3=SU(2)\times SU(2)$. Known \cite{H1}, that…

There is a well known one--parameter family of left invariant CR structures on $SU(2)\cong S^3$. We show how purely algebraic methods can be used to explicitly compute the canonical Cartan connections associated to these structures and…

On $4$-symmetric symplectic spaces, invariant almost complex structures -- up to sign -- arise in pairs. We exhibit some $4$-symmetric symplectic spaces, with a pair of "natural" compatible (usually not positive) invariant almost complex…

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…

A new link between tetrahedra and the group SU(2) is pointed out: by associating to each face of a tetrahedron an irreducible unitary SU(2) representation and by imposing that the faces close, the concept of quantum tetrahedron is seen to…

We compute the torsion-free linear maps from the Lie algebra su(2) into itself, deduce a new determination of the integrable complex structures and their equivalence classes under the action of the automorphism group for u(2) and…

We study invariant pseudo-K\"ahler structures on a solvmanifold $G$ such that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is almost abelian, that is $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{h}\rtimes\mathbb{R}$, with $\mathfrak{h}$ abelian; comparing with the…

In this paper we study the invariant Carnot-Caratheodory metrics on $SU(2)\simeq S^3$, $SO(3)$ and $SL(2)$ induced by their Cartan decomposition and by the Killing form. Beside computing explicitly geodesics and conjugate loci, we compute…

We construct globally-defined $SU(3)$ structures on smooth compact toric varieties (SCTV) in the class of $\mathbb{CP}^1$ bundles over $M$, where $M$ is an arbitrary SCTV of complex dimension two. The construction can be extended to the…

We compute the chains associated to the left-invariant CR structures on the three-sphere. These structures are characterized by a single real modulus $a$. For the standard structure $a=1$, the chains are well-known and are closed curves. We…

We construct a hyperk\"ahler metric on twisted cotangent bundles of the complex projective space $\mathbb{CP}^n$ explicitly in terms of local coordinates. Note that the twisted cotangent bundles of $\mathbb{CP}^n$ are holomorphically…

This article explores special Lagrangian submanifolds in $\mathbb{CP}^3$, viewed as a nearly K\"ahler manifold, from two different perspectives. Intrinsically, using a moving frame set-up, and extrinsically, using $\mathrm{SU}(2)$…

We study the Kodaira dimension of almost complex manifolds admitting an $\mathrm{SU} (m)$-structure. We introduce the notion of almost complex structure of splitting type and of associated $\mathrm{SU} (m)$-structure. When the latter is…

In this paper, left-invariant almost contact metric structures on three-dimensional non-unimodular Lie groups are investigated. It is proved that for every Riemannian Lie group, there is one of these structures. In addition, left-invariant…

We classify the 5-dimensional homogeneous geometries in the sense of Thurston. The present paper (part 3 of 3) classifies those in which the linear isotropy representation is nontrivial but reducible. Most of the resulting geometries are…

The space of shapes of a polyhedron with given total angles less than 2\pi at each of its n vertices has a Kaehler metric, locally isometric to complex hyperbolic space CH^{n-3}. The metric is not complete: collisions between vertices take…

In this paper we study invariant almost Hermitian geometry on generalized flag manifolds which the isotropy representation decompose into two or three irreducible components. We will provide a classification of such flag manifolds admitting…

The quantum deformation $CP_q(N)$ of complex projective space is discussed. Many of the features present in the case of the quantum sphere can be extended. The differential and integral calculus is studied and $CP_q(N)$ appears as a quantum…

The paper is part of an attempt of understanding non-K\"ahler threefolds. We start by looking at compact complex non-K\"ahler threefolds with algebraic dimension two and admitting locally conformally K\"ahler metrics. Under certain…
