The aim of this paper is to present the main constructions of the substructures of an almost groupoid and to discuss their basic properties. The definitions and properties concerning these new algebraic constructions extend to almost…

We study nearly parallel $\mathrm{G}_{2}$-structures with a three-torus symmetry via multi-moment map techniques. An effective three-torus action on a nearly parallel $\mathrm{G}_{2}$-manifold yields a multi-moment map. The torus acts…

Lie groups considered as three-dimensional almost paracontact almost paracomplex Riemannian manifolds are investigated. In each basic class of the classification used for the manifolds under consideration, a correspondence is established…

The object of investigations are almost contact B-metric manifolds which are derived as a product of a real line and a 2-dimensional manifold equipped with a complex structure and a Norden metric. There are used two different methods for…

We show that if $A$ is a closed subset of the Heisenberg group whose vertical projections are nowhere dense, then the complement of $A$ is quasiconvex. In particular, closed sets which are null sets for the cc-Hausdorff $3$-measure have…

A smooth closed manifold $M$ is called almost Ricci-flat if $$\inf_g||\textrm{Ric}_g||_\infty\cdot \textrm{diam}_g(M)^2=0$$ where $\textrm{Ric}_g$ and $\textrm{diam}_g$ denote the Ricci tensor and the diameter of $g$ respectively and $g$…

Tukia and Vaisala showed that every quasi-conformal map of $\R^n$ extends to a quasi-conformal self-map of $\R^{n+1}$. The restriction of the extended map to the upper half-space $\R^n \times \R^+$ is, in fact, bi-Lipschitz with respect to…

In this paper the notion of the intrinsic geometry of an almost contact metric manifold is introduced. Description of some classes of spaces with almost contact metric structures in terms of the intrinsic geometry is given. A new type of…

Suppose $G$ is finitely generated group and $\mathcal{C}(G)$ consists of all $\rho:G\to\operatorname{PGL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$ for which there exists a properly convex set in $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^n$ that is preserved by $\rho(G)$. Then the…

This paper determines which orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds contain simple closed geodesics. The Fuchsian group corresponding to the thrice-punctured sphere generates the only example of a complete non-elementary orientable hyperbolic…

An almost Clifford and an almost Cliffordian manifold is a $G$--structure based on the definition of Clifford algebras. An almost Clifford manifold based on $\mathcal O:= \cc l (s,t)$ is given by a reduction of the structure group $GL(km,…

Let N^h be a hyperbolic 3-manifold of bounded geometry corresponding to a hyperbolic structure on a pared manifold (M,P). Further, suppose that (\partial{M} - P) is incompressible, i.e. the boundary of M is incompressible away from cusps.…

This paper studies the set of finite groups appearing as $\pi_1(M)/\pi_1(M)^{(n)}$, where $M$ is a closed, orientable 3-manifold and $\pi_1(M)^{(n)}$ denotes the $n$-th term of the derived series of $\pi_1(M)$. Our main result is that if…

We provide a general criteria for the integrability of the almost para-quaternionic structure of an almost para-quaternionic manifold (M,P) of dimension bigger or equal to eight, in terms of the integrability of two or three sections of the…

In this paper we compute the mapping class group of closed simply-connected 6-manifolds $M$ which look like complete intersections, i.~e.~ $H_2(M;\mathbb Z) \cong \mathbb Z $ and $x^3 \ne 0$ where $x \in H^2(M; \mathbb Z)$ is a generator.…

We study the relations between the projective and the almost conformally symplectic structures on a smooth even dimensional manifold. We describe these relations by a single almost conformally symplectic connection with totally trace--free…

We connect Poisson and near-symplectic geometry by showing that there is a singular Poisson structure on a near-symplectic 4-manifold. The Poisson structure $\pi$ is defined on the tubular neighbourhood of the singular locus $Z_{\omega}$ of…

A 3D almost-Riemannian manifold is a generalized Riemannian manifold defined locally by 3 vector fields that play the role of an orthonormal frame, but could become collinear on some set $\Zz$ called the singular set. Under the Hormander…

This is an expository proof that, if $M$ is a compact $n$-manifold with no boundary, then the set of holonomies of strictly-convex real-projective structures on $M$ is a subset of $\operatorname{Hom}(\pi_1M,\operatorname{PGL}(n+1,\mathbb…

We consider 3-dimensional hyperbolic cone-manifolds, singular along infinite lines, which are ``convex co-compact'' in a natural sense. We prove an infinitesimal rigidity statement when the angle around the singular lines is less than…
