The existence of a recurrent spinor field on a pseudo-Riemannian spin manifold $(M,g)$ is closely related to the existence of a parallel 1-dimensional complex subbundle of the spinor bundle of $(M,g)$. We characterize the following simply…

In this paper, we show an extension type theorem for twisted pluricanonical sections on a family of smooth projective manifolds (the twisting line bundle being pseudo-effective and having a prescribed multiplier ideal on the central fiber).

In this note, we describe the structure of regular foliations with semi-positive anti-canonical bundle on smooth projective varieties.

The classification of emergent spinor fields according to modified bilinear covariants is scrutinized, in spacetimes with nontrivial topology, which induce inequivalent spin structures. Extended Clifford algebras, constructed by equipping…

A Steiner bundle over the projective 3-space is the kernel in a trivial bundle of a morphism defined by a matrix of linear forms. We produce various Steiner bundles E of rank n such that E(1) has n-1 sections, the dependency locus of which…

We study spin structures on compact simply-connected homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M = G/H, g) of a compact semisimple Lie group G. We classify flag manifolds F = G/H of a compact simple Lie group which are spin. This yields also…

We investigate when the tangent bundle of a projective manifold has a non-trivial first order (or positive-dimensional) deformation. This leads to a new conjectural characterization of the complex projective space.

The present paper is devoted to some results concerning with the complete lifts of an almost complex structure and a connection in a manifold to its (0,q)-tensor bundle along the corresponding cross-section.

Spectral triples over noncommutative principal $\T^n$-bundles are studied, extending recent results about the noncommutative geometry of principal U(1)-bundles. We relate the noncommutative geometry of the total space of the bundle with the…

We show that there is a type-preserving homomorphism from the fundamental group of the figure-eight knot complement to the mapping class group of the thrice-punctured torus. As a corollary, we obtain infinitely many commensurability classes…

We develop general techniques for computing the fundamental group of the configuration space of $n$ identical particles, possessing a generic internal structure, moving on a manifold $M$. This group generalizes the $n$-string braid group of…

This work is a spin-off of an on-going programme which aims at revisiting the original studies of Lie and Cartan on pseudogroups and geometric structures from a modern perspective. We encode geometric structures induced by transitive Lie…

In a previous paper we built a modified Hamiltonian formalism to make possible explicit maps among manifolds. In this paper the modified formalism was generalized. As an application, we have built maps among spaces associated to spinors, as…

By analogy with associative and co-associative cases we introduce a class of three-dimensional non-orientable submanifolds, of almost $\mathrm{G}_2-$manifolds, modelled on planes lying in a special $\mathrm{G}_2-$orbit. An application of…

We study differential invariants of linear differential operators and use them to find conditions for equivalence of differential operators acting in line bundles over smooth manifolds with respect to groups of authomorphisms.

We give a construction of a torsion invariant of bundles of smooth manifolds which is based on the work of Dwyer, Weiss and Williams on smooth structures on fibrations.

Operator fields in the bundle of Dirac spinors and their conversion to spatial fields are considered. Some commutator equations are studied with the use of the conversion technique.

The aim of this note is to give a sufficient condition for pairs of functions to have a convex separator when the underlying structure is a Cartan--Hadamard manifold, or more generally: a reduced Birkhoff--Beatley system. Some exotic…

Using the theory of extensors developed in a previous paper we present a theory of the parallelism structure on arbitrary smooth manifold. Two kinds of Cartan connection operators are introduced and both appear in intrinsic versions (i.e.,…

We construct metrics of positive Ricci curvature on some vector bundles over tori (or more generally, over nilmanifolds). This gives rise to the first examples of manifolds with positive Ricci curvature which are homotopy equivalent but not…
