The paper is based on relations between a ternary symmetric form defining the SO(3) geometry in dimension five and Cartan's works on isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres. As observed by Bryant such a ternary form exists only in dimensions…

We investigate nonintegrable Riemannian geometries modelled after certain symmetric spaces related to the Freudenthal-Tits Magic Square. The collection of four such structures found by Nurowski is extended by further eight. A focus is given…

Recent work Bobienski-Nurowski on 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with an SO(3) structure prompts us to investigate which Lie groups admit such a geometry. The case in which the SO(3) structure admits a compatible connection with torsion…

This paper examines 8-dimensional Riemannian manifolds whose structure group reduces to ${SO(4)}_{ir}\subset GL(8,\mathbb R)$, the image of an irreducible representation of $SO(4)$ on $\mathbb R^8$. We demonstrate that such a reduction can…

This survey paper is devoted to Riemannian manifolds with special holonomy. To any Riemannian manifold of dimension n is associated a closed subgroup of SO(n), the holonomy group; this is one of the most basic invariants of the metric. A…

We study 8-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that admit a PSU(3)-structure. We classify these structures by their intrinsic torsion and characterize the corresponding classes via differential equations. Moreover, we consider a connection…

The notion of $\Gamma$-symmetric space is a natural generalization of the classical notion of symmetric space based on $\Z_2$-grading of Lie algebras. In our case, we consider homogeneous spaces $G/H$ such that the Lie algebra $\g$ of $G$…

The present article is the final part of a series on the classification of the totally geodesic submanifolds of the irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank 2. After this problem has been solved for the 2-Grassmannians in my previous…

In this work we construct new multidimensional families of complete minimal submanifolds, of the classical non-compact Riemannian symmetric spaces SL_n(R)/SO(n), Sp(n,R)/U(n), SO*(2n)/U(n) and SU*(2n)/Sp(n), of codimension two.

The present article investigates Sp(3) structures on 14-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, a continuation of the recent study of manifolds modeled on rank two symmetric spaces (here: SU(6)/Sp(3)). We derive topological criteria for the…

In differential geometry, geometric structures can often be encoded by differential forms satisfying algebraic and differential constraints. This is in particular the case for spinorial G-structures, where the defining tensors are…

Motivated by a paper of Zirnbauer, we develop a theory of Riemannian supermanifolds up to a definition of Riemannian symmetric superspaces. Various fundamental concepts needed for the study of these spaces both from the Riemannian and the…

We analyze the geometrical background under which many Lie groups relevant to particle physics are endowed with a (possibly multiple) hexagonal structure. There are several groups appearing, either as special holonomy groups on the…

In this survey we focus on a special class of homogeneous manifolds called Thurston geometries. We give special attention to the four-dimensional Thurston geometries with 4 or 5-dimensional isometry group which are not a product (except for…

We give a survey of several models of irreducible complementary series representations and their limits, special representations, for the groups SU(n,1) and SO(n,1), including new ones. These groups, whose geometrical meaning is well known,…

We study $4n$-dimensional smooth manifolds admitting a $\mathsf{SO}^*(2n)$- or a $\mathsf{SO}^*(2n)\mathsf{Sp}(1)$-structure, where $\mathsf{SO}^*(2n)$ is the quaternionic real form of $\mathsf{SO}(2n, \mathbb{C})$. We show that such…

We classify, up to isometric congruence, the homogeneous hypersurfaces in the Riemannian symmetric spaces $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{H})/\mathrm{Sp}(3), \hspace{1pt} \mathrm{SO}(5,\mathbb{C})/\mathrm{SO}(5),$ and…

In this work we construct new multi-dimensional families of compact minimal submanifolds, of the classical Riemannian symmetric spaces $SU(n)/SO(n)$, $Sp(n)/U(n)$, $SO(2n)/U(n)$ and $SU(2n)/Sp(n)$, of codimension two.

We give a classification of homogeneous Riemannian structures on (non locally symmetric) $3$-dimensional Lie groups equipped with left invariant Riemannian metrics. This work together with classifications due to previous works yields a…

The local geometry of a Riemannian symmetric space is described completely by the Riemannian metric and the Riemannian curvature tensor of the space. In the present article I describe how to compute these tensors for any Riemannian…
