It is well known that a unit sphere admits Sasakian 3-structure. Also, Sasakian manifolds are locally isometric to a unit sphere under several curvature and critical conditions. So, a natural question is: Does there exist any curvature or…

We show a closed Bach-flat Riemannian manifold with a fixed positive constant scalar curvature has to be locally spherical if its Weyl and traceless Ricci tensors are small in the sense of either $L^\infty$ or $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$-norm.…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. We prove that if $X$ admits a smooth Hermitian metric $\omega$ with quasi-positive second Chern-Ricci curvature $\mathrm{Ric}^{(2)}(\omega)$, then $X$ is projective and rationally connected. In…

Let $ X $ be an oriented, closed manifold with $ \dim X \geqslant 2 $. Let $ (Z, \partial Z) $ be an oriented, compact manifold with (possibly empty) smooth boundary and $ \dim Z \geqslant 2 $. In this article, we show that if the…

We initiate the study of an analogue of the Yamabe problem for complex manifolds. More precisely, fixed a conformal Hermitian structure on a compact complex manifold, we are concerned in the existence of metrics with constant Chern scalar…

We study positive definite quaternionic contact $(4n+3)$-manifolds ($qc$-manifold for short). Just like the $CR$-structure contains the class of Sasaki manifolds, the $qc$-structure admits a class of $3$-Sasaki manifolds with integrable…

In this note, we construct new examples of Lorentzian Sasaki-Einstein (LSE) metrics on Smale manifolds $M.$ It has already been established in \cite{Gmz2} that such metrics exist on the so-called torsion free Smale manifolds, i.e. the…

We consider the problem of performing connected sums in the context of positive $k^{th}$ intermediate Ricci curvature. We show that such connected sums are possible if the manifolds involved possess `$k$-core metrics' for some $k$. Here, a…

In this paper, we give a new generalization of positive sectional curvature called positive weighted sectional curvature. It depends on a choice of Riemannian metric and a smooth vector field. We give several simple examples of Riemannian…

Positive curvature and bosons Compact positive curvature Riemannian manifolds M with symmetry group G allow Conner-Kobayashi reductions M to N, where N is the fixed point set of the symmetry G. The set N is a union of smaller-dimensional…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed spin (resp. oriented and totally non-spin) manifold of dimension $n\geq 5$ with fundamental group $\pi$. It is stated, e.g. in [RS95], that $M$ admits a metric of positive scalar curvature (pscm) if its…

We construct a new 7-dimensional manifold with positive sectional curvature which is 2-connected with \pi_3=\Z_2 and admits an isometric group action with one dimensional quotient.

We show that a statistical manifold manifold of a constant non-zero curvature can be realised as a level line of Hessian potential on a Hessian cone. We construct a Sasakian structure on $TM\times\R$ by a statistical manifold manifold of a…

Let M be a closed simply connected n-manifold of positive sectional curvature. We determine its homeomorphism or homotopic type if M also admits an isometric elementary p-group action of large rank. Our main results are: There exists a…

Given a compact Sasaki manifold, we endow the space of the Sasaki potentials with an analogue of Mabuchi metric. We show that its metric completion is negatively curved in the sense of Alexandrov.

If a compact set K \subset R^2 contains a positive-dimensional family of line-segments in positively many directions, then K has positive measure.

We give the first example of an open manifold with positive Ricci curvature and a non-proper Busemann function at a point. This provides counterexamples to a longtime well-known open question whether the Busemann function at a point of an…

A closed CR 3-manifold is said to have $C_{0}$-positive pseudohermitian curvature if $(W+C_{0}Tor)(X,X)>0$ for any $0\neq X\in T_{1,0}(M)$. We discover an obstruction for a closed CR 3-manifold to possess $C_{0}$-positive pseudohermitian…

We study some cases when the sectional curvature remains positive under the taking of quotients by certain nonfree isometric actions of Lie groups. We consider the actions of the groups $S^1$ and $S^3$ such that the quotient space can be…

In this paper we prove that, under an explicit integral pinching assumption between the $L^2$-norm of the Ricci curvature and the $L^2$-norm of the scalar curvature, a closed 3-manifold with positive scalar curvature admits an Einstein…
