This is a survey on cohomogeneity one manifolds with positive curvature. We discuss the known examples of this type and their geometry and the functions that describe the metric. We also describe the classification of cohomogeneity one…
Conformal invariance plays a significant role in many areas of Physics, such as conformal field theory, renormalization theory, turbulence, general relativity. Naturally, it also plays an important role in geometry: theory of Riemannian…
This work presents a novel class of metrics on a para-K\"{a}hler-Norden manifold $(M^{2m},F,g)$, derived from a conformal deformation of the Berger-type metric associated with the metric $g$. Initially, we examine the Levi-Civita link…
This paper discusses the somewhat unintuitive conjecture that many Lorentz-invariant many-particle models can be reinterpreted to satisfy the gtr field equations. It is shown that a careful remapping of coordinates yields a non-trivial…

Consider a smooth manifold with a smooth metric which changes bilinear type from Riemann to Lorentz on a hypersurface $\Sigma$ with radical tangent to $\Sigma$. Two natural bilinear symmetric forms appear there, and we use it to analyze the…
We study a deformation of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold. The deformation is based on a general twist. This leads to a differential geometry on a noncommutative algebra of functions whose product is a star-product. The…
Consider a smooth manifold $M$ with a smooth cometric $g^{\ast}$ which changes the bilineal type by transverse way, on a hypersurface $D^{\infty}$. Suppose that the radical annihilator hyperplane is tangent to $D^{\infty}$. We examine the…
We study complex non-K\"ahler manifolds with Hermitian metrics being locally conformal to metrics with special cohomological properties. In particular, we provide examples where the existence of locally conformal holomorphic-tamed…

Despite the fact that General Relativity (GR) has been very successful, many alternative theories of gravity have attracted the attention of a significant number of theoretical physicists. Among these theories, we have theories with…
We consider real isotropic geodesics on manifolds endowed with a pseudoconformal structure and their applications to the theory of lightlike hypersurfaces on such manifolds, the geometry of four-dimensional conformal structures of…
In this survey article we review several results on the curvature of semi-Riemannian metrics which are motivated by the positive mass theorem. The main themes are estimates of the Riemann tensor of an asymptotically flat manifold and the…
We consider a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold V with a metric g and an affinor structure q. The local coordinates of these tensors are circulant matrices. In V we define an almost conformal transformation. Using that definition we…
The problem of characterizing conformally Einstein manifolds by tensorial conditions has been tackled recently in papers by M. Listing, and in work by A. R. Gover and P. Nurowski. Their results apply to metrics satisfying a "non-degeneracy"…
We review the main features of models where relativistic symmetries are deformed at the Planck scale. We cover the motivations and links to other quantum gravity approaches. We describe in some detail the most studied theoretical…
It is well known that one can parameterize 2-D Riemannian structures by conformal transformations and diffeomorphisms of fiducial constant curvature geometries; and that this construction has a natural setting in general relativity theory…
Given a parabolic geometry, it is sometimes possible to find special metrics characterised by some invariant conditions. In conformal geometry, for example, one asks for an Einstein metric in the conformal class. Einstein metrics have the…
We study Gauss curvature for random Riemannian metrics on a compact surface, lying in a fixed conformal class; our questions are motivated by comparison geometry. Next, analogous questions are considered for the scalar curvature in…
