We give a classification of compact conformally Kahler Einstein-Weyl manifolds whose Ricci tensor is hermitian.

Let M be an n-dimensional K\"ahler manifold with numerically effective Ricci class. In this note we prove that, if the first Betti number b_1(M)=2n, then M is biholomorphic to the complex torus T^n_C.

In this article, we investigate the interplay between the curvature operator, Weyl curvature, and the Hopf conjecture on compact Riemannian manifolds of even dimension. By decomposing the curvature operator into Hermitian components, we…

We investigate the geometry and topology of submanifolds under a sharp pinching condition involving extrinsic invariants like the mean curvature and the length of the second fundamental form. Several homology vanishing results are given.…

Let $M^n$ be a compact K$\ddot{a}$hler manifold with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature and nonzero first Betti number. We show that the holomorphic Euler number of $M^n$ vanishes, which gives a new obstruction for compact complex manifolds…

We show that, under the definiteness of holomorphic sectional curvature, the spaces of some holomorphic tensor fields on compact Chern-K\"{a}hler-like Hermitian manifolds are trivial. These can be viewed as counterparts to Bochner's…

We study the rigidity problems for open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. We prove that if an asymptotic cone of $M$ properly contains a Euclidean $\mathbb{R}^{k-1}$, then the first Betti number of…

We explore the Mayer-Vietoris sequence developed by Chiswell for the fundamental group of a graph of groups when vertex groups satisfy some vanishing assumption on the first cohomology (e.g. property (T), or vanishing of the first…

A Hermitian Einstein-Weyl manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Ricci-flat Kaehler covering W, with the deck transform acting on W by homotheties. If compact, it admits a canonical Vaisman metric, due to Gauduchon. We show that a…

We classify complete gradient Ricci solitons satisfying a fourth-order vanishing condition on the Weyl tensor, improving previously known results. More precisely, we show that any $n$-dimensional ($n\geq 4$) gradient shrinking Ricci soliton…

The first Betti number for a lattice in a classifying space for variations of Hodge structures vanishes.

The peeling behaviour of the Weyl tensor near null infinity is determined for an asymptotically flat higher dimensional spacetime. The result is qualitatively different from the peeling property in 4d. To leading order, the Weyl tensor is…

We show that there exist non-formal compact oriented manifolds of dimension $n$ and with first Betti number $b_1=b\geq 0$ if and only if $n\geq 3$ and $b\geq 2$, or $n\geq (7-2b)$ and $0\leq b\leq 2$. Moreover, we present explicit examples…

For a torsionless connection on the tangent bundle of a manifold M the Weyl curvature W is the part of the curvature in kernel of the Ricci contraction. We give a coordinate free proof of Weyl's result that the Weyl curvature vanishes if…

We first present the natural definitions of the horizontal differential, the divergence (as an adjoint operator), and a $p$-harmonic form on a Finsler manifold. Next, we prove a Hodge-type theorem for a Finsler manifold in the sense that a…

A Weyl structure on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ is a torsion-free linear connection $\nabla$ such that there is a $1$-form $\theta$ (called the Lee form) satisfying $\nabla g = 2\, \theta \otimes g$. We examine the case in which there…

The rotations of rigid bodies in Euclidean space are characterized by their instantaneous angular velocity and angular momentum. In an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions, these quantities are represented by bivectors (antisymmetric…

We introduce the notion of Hermitian Higgs bundle as a natural generalization of the notion of Hermitian vector bundle and we study some vanishing theorems concerning Hermitian Higgs bundles when the base manifold is a compact complex…

We show that the only complete shrinking gradient Ricci solitons with vanishing Weyl tensor are quotients of the standard ones. This gives a new proof of the Hamilton-Ivey-Perel'man classification of 3-dimensional shrinking gradient…

We make use of Friedrich's construction of the cylinder at spatial infinity to relate the logarithmic terms appearing in asymptotic expansions of components of the Weyl tensor to the freely specifiable parts of time symmetric initial data…
