A Lie groupoid principal $\mbbX$ bundle is a surjective submersion $\pi\colon P\to M$ with an action of $\mathbb{X}$ on $P$ with certain additional conditions. This paper offers a suitable definition for the notion of a connection on such…

This paper investigates the volume-preserving harmonic mean curvature flow in asymptotically Schwarzschild spaces. We demonstrate the long-time existence and exponential convergence of this flow with a coordinate sphere of large radius…

In this paper, we derive a Riccati-type equation applicable to (sub-)static Einstein spaces and examine its various applications. Specifically, within the framework of conformally compactifiable manifolds, we prove a splitting theorem for…

We study the homogeneity of contact magnetic trajectories in naturally reductive Berger spheres. We prove that every contact magnetic trajectory is a product of a homogeneous geodesic and a charged Reeb flow.

For Cartan geometries admitting automorphisms with isotropies satisfying a particular, loosely dynamical property on their model geometries, we demonstrate the existence of an open subset of the geometry with trivial holonomy. This…

An important result in the theory of harmonic maps is due to Benoist--Hulin: given a quasi-isometry $f:X\to Y$ between pinched Hadamard manifolds, there exists a unique harmonic map at a finite distance from $f$. Here we show existence of…

The multi-bubble isoperimetric conjecture in $n$-dimensional Euclidean and spherical spaces from the 1990's asserts that standard bubbles uniquely minimize total perimeter among all $q-1$ bubbles enclosing prescribed volume, for any $q \leq…

As a tool to address the equivalence problem in sub-Riemannian geometry, we introduce a canonical choice of grading and compatible affine connection, available on any sub-Riemannian manifold with constant symbol. We completely compute these…

We present a connection between minimal surfaces of index one and General Relativity. First, we show that for a certain class of (electro)static systems, each of its unstable horizons is the solution of a one-parameter min-max problem for…

These are notes for a Ph.D.\ course I held at SISSA, Trieste, in the Winter 2025. We review well-known topics in Riemannian geometry where Lie groups play a fundamental role. Part of the theory of compact connected Lie groups, their…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of an anti-torqued slant helix in a Riemannian manifold, defined as a curve whose principal vector field makes a constant angle with an anti-torqued vector field globally defined on the ambient…

In this note, we give a characterization of immersed submanifolds of simply-connected space forms for which the quotient of the extrinsic diameter by the focal radius achieves the minimum possible value of $2$. They are essentially round…

In this paper twistor methods are used to construct a family of multivalued harmonic functions on ${\bf R}^{3}$ which were obtained by Dashen Yan using different methods. The branching sets for the solutions are ellipses and the functions…

By the results of Furuhata--Inoguchi--Kobayashi [Inf. Geom. (2021)] and Kobayashi--Ohno [Osaka Math. J. (2025)], the Amari--Chentsov $\alpha$-connections on the space $\mathcal{N}$ of all $n$-variate normal distributions are uniquely…

We obtain a complete classification of ruled zero mean curvature surfaces in the three-dimensional light cone. En route, we examine geodesics and screw motions in the space form, allowing us to discover helicoids. We also consider their…

In this work, we discuss the stability of the pluriclosed flow and generalized Ricci flow. We proved that if the second variation of generalized Einstein--Hilbert functional is nonpositive and the infinitesimal deformations are integrable,…

We prove that every topological/smooth $\T=(\C^{*})^{n}$-equivariant vector bundle over a topological toric manifold of dimension $2n$ is a topological/smooth Klyachko vector bundle in the sense of arXiv:2504.02205.

In this paper, we derive some important optimal relationships for bi-slant submanifolds in metallic Riemannian product space forms enriching the understanding of their geometric properties and deepening the connection between intrinsic and…

For a parabolically convex domain $M\subseteq \mathbb{H}^n$, $n\ge 3$, we prove that if $f:(N,\bar g)\to (M,g)$ has nonzero degree, where $N$ is spin with scalar curvature $R_N\ge -n(n-1)$, and if $f|_{\partial N}$ does not increase the…

This paper has two purposes. The first is to classify all those versions of the Toda equations which govern the existence of $\tau$-primitive harmonic maps from a surface into a homogeneous space $G/T$ for which $G$ is a noncomplex…
