In this work we study the existence of invariant almost complex structures on real flag manifolds associated to split real forms of complex simple Lie algebras. We show that, contrary to the complex case where the invariant almost complex…

We define flag structures on a real three manifold M as the choice of two complex lines on the complexified tangent space at each point of M. We suppose that the plane field defined by the complex lines is a contact plane and construct an…

We study the local Killing Lie algebra of meromorphic almost rigid geometric structures on complex manifolds. This leads to classification results for compact complex manifolds bearing holomorphic rigid geometric structures.

We show that various notions of local homogeneity for CR-manifolds are equivalent. In particular, if germs at any two points of a CR-manifold are CR-equivalent, there exists a transitive local Lie group action by CR-automorphisms near every…

We give a precise characterization when a compact homogeneous CR-solvmanifold is CR-embeddable in a Kahler manifold. Equivalently this gives a non-Kahler criterion for complex manifolds containing CR-solvmanifolds not satisfying these…

We partially describe equivariant Dirac and generalized complex structures on a homogeneous space $G/K$ by giving equivalent data involving only the Lie algebra. We consider real semisimple adjoint orbits in any semisimple Lie algebra over…

This is a short presentation of some classical results on finite dimensional complex Lie algebras (classification of nilpotent Lie algebras, deformations and perturbations, contractions and rigidity). We present some applications to…

We classify the Lie algebras of infinitesimal CR automorphisms of weakly pseudoconvex hypersurfaces of finite multitype in $\mathbb C^N$. In particular, we prove that such manifolds admit neither nonlinear rigid automorphisms, nor real or…

It was shown by Samelson and Wang that each compact Lie group K of even dimension admits left-invariant complex structures. When K has odd dimension it admits a left-invariant CR-structure of maximal dimension. This has been proved recently…

I show how to associate a Clifford algebra to a graph. I describe the structure of these Clifford graph algebras and provide many examples and pictures. I describe which graphs correspond to isomorphic Clifford algebras and also discuss…

This paper deals with affine connections on real manifolds. We give a new characterization of flat affine connections on real manifolds by means of certain affine representations of the Lie group of automorphisms preserving the connection.…

We show that for a real-analytic connected holomorphically nondegenerate 5-dimensional CR-hypersurface $M$ and its symmetry algebra $\mathfrak{s}$ one has either: (i) $\dim\mathfrak{s}=15$ and $M$ is spherical (with Levi form of signature…

For compact CR manifolds of hypersurface type which embed in complex projective space, we show that for all k large enough there exist linear systems of ${\mathcal{O}}(k)$ which when restricted to the CR manifold are generic in a suitable…

Pittie [Pit88] proved that the Dolbeault cohomology of all left-invariant complex structures on compact Lie groups can be computed by looking at the Dolbeault cohomology induced on a conveniently chosen maximal torus. We use the algebraic…

We generalize the notion of kinematical Lie algebra introduced in physics for the classification of the various possible relativity algebras an isotropic spacetime can accommodate. We first give an elementary proof of the fact that such a…

In this paper an extended CPR decomposition theorem for Finsler symmetric spaces of semi-negative curvature in the context of reductive structures is proven. This decomposition theorem is applied to give a geometric description of the…

This is a summary of some of the basic facts about flat 2-orbifold groups, otherwise known as 2-dimensional crystallographic groups. We relate the geometric and topological presentations of these groups, and consider structures…

We define 2-calibrated structures, which are analogs of symplectic structures in odd dimensions. We show the existence of differential topological constructions compatible with the structure.

Spinorial methods have proven to be a powerful tool to study geometric properties of spin manifolds. Our aim is to continue the spinorial study of manifolds that are not necessarily spin. We introduce and study the notion of $G$-invariance…

Let $G=H\ltimes K$ denote a semidirect product Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak h \oplus \mathfrak k$, where $\mathfrak k$ is an ideal and $\mathfrak h$ is a subalgebra of the same dimension as $\mathfrak k$. There exist…
