The minimal volume of a closed manifold $M$ is the infimum of the volume of $(M,g)$ over all metrics $g$ with sectional curvature between $-1$ and $1$. We introduce a variant called the essential minimal volume, $\mathrm{ess-Minvol}(M)$,…

We consider 6-dimensional strict nearly Kaehler manifolds acted on by a compact, cohomogeneity one automorphism group G. We classify the compact manifolds of this class up to G-diffeomorphisms. We also prove that the manifold has constant…

We classify Einstein metrics on $\mathbb{R}^4$ invariant under a four-dimensional group of isometries including a principal action of the Heisenberg group. The metrics are either Ricci-flat or of negative Ricci curvature. We show that all…

Let $M = G/H$ be a connected simply connected homogeneous manifold of a compact, not necessarily connected Lie group $G$. We will assume that the isotropy $H$-module $\mathfrak {g/h}$ has a simple spectrum, i.e. irreducible submodules are…

We show that a compact almost-K\"ahler four manifold $(M, g, \omega)$ with harmonic self-dual Weyl curvature and constant scalar curvature is K\"ahler if $c_{1}\cdot\omega\geq 0$. We also prove an integral curvature inequality for compact…

The main result of this paper is that the space of conformally compact Einstein metrics on a given manifold is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold, provided it is non-empty, generalizing earlier work of Graham-Lee and Biquard. We…

In this paper, we prove that a compact quasi-Einstein manifold $(M^n,\,g,\,u)$ of dimension $n\geq 4$ with boundary $\partial M,$ nonnegative sectional curvature and zero radial Weyl tensor is either isometric, up to scaling, to the…

We study the integrability to second order of infinitesimal Einstein deformations on compact Riemannian and in particular on K\"ahler manifolds. We find a new way of expressing the necessary and sufficient condition for integrability to…

Let g be a G-invariant Einstein metric on a compact homogeneous space M=G/K. We use a formula for the Lichnerowicz Laplacian of g at G-invariant TT-tensors to study the stability type of g as a critical point of the scalar curvature…
