Let $\bar{L}_i\lr X_i$ be a holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold for $i=1,2$. Let $S_i$ denote the associated principal circle-bundle with respect to some hermitian inner product on $\bar{L}_i$. We construct complex…

Smale-Barden manifolds are simply-connected closed 5-manifolds. It is an important and difficult question to decide when a Smale-Barden manifold admits a Sasakian or a K-contact structure. The known constructions of Sasakian and K-contact…

On an almost complex manifold, a quasi-K\"{a}hler metric, with canonical connection in the c-projective class of a given minimal complex connection, is equivalent to a non-degenerate solution of the c-projectively invariant metrizability…

Not long ago, Cirici and Wilson defined a Dolbeault cohomology on almost complex manifolds to answer Hirzebruch's problem. In this paper, we define a refined Dolbeault cohomology on almost complex manifolds. We show that the condition…

In a recent work, Kai Tang conjectured that any compact Hermitian manifold with non-zero constant mixed curvature must be K\"ahler. He confirmed the conjecture in complex dimension $2$ and for Chern K\"ahler-like manifolds in general…

Let $(G,g)$ be a 4-dimensional Riemannian Lie group with a 2-dimensional left-invariant, conformal foliation $\mathcal{F}$ with minimal leaves. Let $J$ be an almost Hermitian structure on $G$ adapted to the foliation $\mathcal{F}$. The…

The vector space of the tensors $\mathcal F$ of type (0,3) having the same symmetries as the covariant derivative of the fundamental form of an almost contact metric manifold is considered. A scheme of decomposition of $\mathcal F$ into…

We study the geometry of compact strong HKT and, more generally, compact BHE manifolds. We prove that any compact BHE manifold with full holonomy must be K\"ahler and we establish a similar result for strong HKT manifolds. Additionally, we…

We deal with compact Kaehler manifolds M which are acted on by a semisimple compact Lie group G of isometries with codimension one regular orbits. We provide an explicit description of the standard blow-ups of such manifolds along complex…

We show that any compact Kahler manifold with integral Kahler form, parametrizes a natural holomorphic family of Cauchy-Riemann operators on the Riemann sphere such that the Quillen determinant line bundle of this family is isomorphic to a…

The goal of this work is give a precise numerical description of the K\"ahler cone of a compact K\"ahler manifold. Our main result states that the K\"ahler cone depends only on the intersection form of the cohomology ring, the Hodge…

Let (M,I, \omega, \Omega) be a nearly Kaehler 6-manifold, that is, an SU(3)-manifold with the (3,0)-form \Omega and the Hermitian form \omega which satisfies $d\omega=3\lambda\Re\Omega, d\Im\Omega=-2\lambda\omega^2$, for a non-zero real…

Let a torus $T$ act on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ with moment map $\phi$. We say that the Hamiltonian $T$-manifold $(M,\omega,\phi)$ has complexity one if $\frac{1}{2} \dim M - \dim T = 1$, and that it is K\"ahler if it admits an…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold and suppose $p\in M$. For each unit vector $v \in T_p M$, the $\textit{Jacobi operator}$, $\mathcal{J}_v: v^\perp \rightarrow v^\perp$ is the symmetric endomorphism, $\mathcal{J}_v(w) = R(w,v)v$.…

In the present work we consider an almost complex manifold with Norden metric (i.e. a metric with respect to which the almost complex structure is an antiisometry). On such a manifold we study a linear connection preserving the almost…

On 5-dimensional almost contact B-metric manifolds, the form of any K\"ahler-type tensor (i.e. a tensor satisfying the properties of the curvature tensor of the Levi-Civita connection in the special class of the parallel structures on the…

We consider complete nearly K\"ahler manifolds with the canonical Hermitian connection. We prove some metric properties of strict nearly K\"ahler manifolds and give a sufficient condition for the reducibility of the canonical Hermitian…

In this paper we construct a Hitchin connection in a setting, which significantly generalizes the setting covered by the first author previously, which in turn was a generalisation of the moduli space case covered by Hitchin in his original…

Given a Hermitian manifold $(M^n,g)$, the Gauduchon connections are the one parameter family of Hermitian connections joining the Chern connection and the Bismut connection. We will call $\nabla^s = (1-\frac{s}{2})\nabla^c +…
