The space of orientation-compatible almost complex structures on the six-dimensional sphere naturally contains a copy of seven-dimensional real projective space. We show that the inclusion induces an isomorphism on fundamental groups and…

We introduce the concept of partial Poisson structure on a manifold $M$ modelled on a convenient space. This is done by specifying a (weak) subbundle $T^{\prime}M$ of $T^{\ast}M$ and an antisymmetric morphism $P:T^{\prime}M\rightarrow TM$…

We introduce new metric structures on a smooth manifold (called "weak" structures) that generalize the almost contact, Sasakian, cosymplectic, etc. metric structures $(\varphi,\xi,\eta,g)$ and allow us to take a fresh look at the classical…

We describe the second order obstruction to deformation for nearly $G_2$ structures on compact manifolds. Building on work of B.Alexandrov and U.Semmelmann this allows proving rigidity under deformation for the proper nearly $G_2$ structure…

We present a new method for classifying naturally reductive homogeneous spaces -- i.\,e.~homogeneous Riemannian manifolds admitting a metric connection with skew torsion that has parallel torsion \emph{and} curvature. This method is based…

We study all four-dimensional simply-connected indecomposable non-semisimple pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces whose metric has signature (2,2). We present models and compute their isometry groups. We solve the problem of the existence or…

Topology may be interpreted as the study of verifiability, where opens correspond to semi-decidable properties. In this paper we make a distinction between verifiable properties themselves and processes which carry out the verification…

This paper defines a symplectic form on the infinite dimensional Fr\'echet manifold of framed curves of fixed length over a simply connected Riemannian manifold of constant curvature. The paper then considers Hamiltonian systems generated…

In his book "Metric structures for Riemannian and non-Riemannian spaces", Gromov defined two properties of Riemannian manifolds, ellipticity and quasiregular ellipticity, and suggested that there may be a connection between the two. Since…

An algebraic formulation of Riemannian geometry on quantum spaces is presented, where Riemannian metric, distance, Laplacian, connection, and curvature have their counterparts. This description is also extended to complex manifolds.…

To any metric spaces there is an associated metric profile. The rectifiability of the metric profile gives a good notion of curvature of a sub-Riemannian space. We shall say that a curvature class is the rectifiability class of the metric…

The classification of 4-dimensional naturally reductive pseudo-Riemannian spaces is given. This classification comprises symmetric spaces, the product of 3-dimensional naturally reductive spaces with the real line and new families of…

This note is a continuation of the paper [2] (see references). We describe some natural pseudogroup structures on almost complex manifolds of type $m$. A kind of coherency is discussed for the sheaf of almost holomorphic functions.

The geodesic orbit property has been studied intensively for Riemannian manifolds. Geodesic orbit spaces are homogeneous and allow simplifications of many structural questions using the Lie algebra of the isometry group. Weakly symmetric…

It is proved that if an almost K\"ahler manifold of dimension greater or equal to 8 is of pointwise constant antiholomorphic sectional curvature, then it is a complex space form.

In this paper we show that for Riemannian manifolds with boundary the natural restriction map is a quasifibration between spaces of metrics of positive scalar curvature. We apply this result to study homotopy properties of spaces of such…

This is a survey of old and new results on the problem when a compatible almost complex structure on a Riemannian manifold is a harmonic section or a harmonic map from the manifold into its twistor space. In this context, a special…

We present some basic results on a natural Poisson structure on any compact symmetric space. The symplectic leaves of this structure are related to the orbits of the corresponding real semisimple group on the complex flag manifold.

In this paper we consider structures of complex Poisson brackets on the space of smooth functions in a $n$-dimensional complex manifold generated by the $(1,1)$-form $d=\partial+\overline{\partial}$-closed and non-degenerate (with…

We introduce the notion of \emph{biharmonic almost complex structure} on a compact almost Hermitian manifold and we study its regularity and existence in dimension four. First we show that there always exist smooth energy-minimizing…
