We prove that a connected Riemannian manifold admitting a pair of non-trivial Einstein-Weyl structures $(g,\pm \omega )$ with constant scalar curvature is either Einstein, or the dual field of $\omega$ is Killing. Next, let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete and connected Riemannian manifold of dimension at least $3$ admitting a pair of Einstein-Weyl structures $(g,\pm \omega )$. Then the Einstein-Weyl vector field $E$ (dual to the $1$-form $\omega$) generates an infinitesimal harmonic transformation if and only if $E$ is Killing.

The object of the present paper is to study $\eta$-Ricci solitons on $\eta$-Einstein ${\left(LCS\right)}_n$-manifolds. It is shown that if $\xi$ is a recurrent torse forming $\eta$-Ricci soliton on an $\eta$-Einstein ${\left(LCS\right)}_n$-manifold then $\xi$ is (i) concurrent and (ii) Killing vector field.

To any smooth compact manifold $M$ endowed with a contact structure $H$ and partially integrable almost CR structure $J$, we prove the existence and uniqueness, modulo high-order error terms and diffeomorphism action, of an approximately Einstein ACH (asymptotically complex hyperbolic) metric $g$ on $M\times (-1,0)$. We consider the asymptotic expansion, in powers of a special defining function, of the volume of $M\times (-1,0)$ with respect to $g$ and prove that the log term coefficient is independent of $J$ (and any choice...

We prove that there are at least two new non-naturally reductive $\mathrm{Ad}\left(\mathrm{Sp}\right(l)\times \mathrm{Sp}(k)\times \mathrm{Sp}(k)\times \mathrm{Sp}(k\left)\right)$ invariant Einstein metrics on $\mathrm{Sp}(l+3k)$ $(k<l)$. It implies that every compact simple Lie group $\mathrm{Sp}\left(n\right)$ for $n=l+3k>4$ admits at least $2\left[\frac{1}{4}(n-1)\right]$ non-naturally reductive $\mathrm{Ad}\left(\mathrm{Sp}\right(l)\times \mathrm{Sp}(k)\times \mathrm{Sp}(k)\times \mathrm{Sp}(k\left)\right)$ invariant Einstein metrics.

In this paper we study the balanced metrics on some Hartogs triangles of exponent $\gamma \in {\mathbb{Z}}^{+}$, i.e., $${\Omega }_n\left(\gamma \right)=\{z=(z_1,\cdots ,z_n)\in {ℂ}^n:|z_1{|}^{1/\gamma }<|z_2|<\cdots <|z_n|<1\}$$ equipped with a natural Kähler form ${\omega }_{g\left(\mu \right)}:=\frac{1}{2}(i/\pi )\partial \overline{\partial }{\Phi }_n$ with $${\Phi }_n\left(z\right)=-{\mu }_{1}ln\left(\right|z_2{|}^{2\gamma }-\left|z_1{|}^2\right)-\sum _{i=2}^{n-1}{\mu }_{i}ln\left(\right|z_{i+1}{|}^2-\left|z_i{|}^2\right)-{\mu }_{n}ln(1-|z_n{|}^2),$$ where $\mu =({\mu }_1,\cdots ,{\mu }_n)$, ${\mu }_i>0$, depending on $n$ parameters. The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we compute the explicit expression for the weighted Bergman kernel function for $({\Omega }_n\left(\gamma \right),g\left(\mu \right))$ and we prove that $g\left(\mu \right)$ is balanced if and only if ${\mu }_1>1$ and $\gamma {\mu }_1$ is an integer, ${\mu }_i$ are integers such that ${\mu }_i\ge 2$ for all $i=2,...,n-1$, and ${\mu }_n>1$. Second, we prove that $g\left(\mu \right)$ is Kähler-Einstein if and only if ${\mu }_1={\mu }_2=\cdots ={\mu }_n=2\lambda$, where...

For the geometry of oriented $(2,3,5)$ distributions $(M,)$, which correspond to regular, normal parabolic geometries of type $(G_2,P)$ for a particular parabolic subgroup $P<G_2$, we develop the corresponding tractor calculus and use it to analyze the first BGG operator ${\Theta }_0$ associated to the $7$-dimensional irreducible representation of $G_2$. We give an explicit formula for the normal connection on the corresponding tractor bundle and use it to derive explicit expressions for this operator. We also show that solutions...

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and $P_g$ an elliptic, formally self-adjoint, conformally covariant operator of order $m$ acting on smooth sections of a bundle over $M$. We prove that if $P_g$ has no rigid eigenspaces (see Definition 2.2), the set of functions $f\in C^{\infty }(M,ℝ)$ for which $P_{e^{f}g}$ has only simple non-zero eigenvalues is a residual set in $C^{\infty }(M,ℝ)$. As a consequence we prove that if $P_g$ has no rigid eigenspaces for a dense set of metrics, then all non-zero eigenvalues are simple for a residual set of metrics...

We consider tangent cones to Schubert subvarieties of the flag variety $G/B$, where $B$ is a Borel subgroup of a reductive complex algebraic group $G$ of type $E_6$, $E_7$ or $E_8$. We prove that if $w_1$ and $w_2$ form a good pair of involutions in the Weyl group $W$ of $G$ then the tangent cones $C_{w_1}$ and $C_{w_2}$ to the corresponding Schubert subvarieties of $G/B$ do not coincide as subschemes of the tangent space to $G/B$ at the neutral point.

We study the stability of a-Browder-type theorems for orthogonal direct sums of operators. We give counterexamples which show that in general the properties $\left(\mathrm{SBaw}\right)$, $\left(\mathrm{SBab}\right)$, $\left(\mathrm{SBw}\right)$ and $\left(\mathrm{SBb}\right)$ are not preserved under direct sums of operators. However, we prove that if $S$ and $T$ are bounded linear operators acting on Banach spaces and having the property $\left(\mathrm{SBab}\right)$, then $S\oplus T$ has the property $\left(\mathrm{SBab}\right)$ if and only if ${\sigma }_{{\mathrm{SBF}}_{+}^{-}}(S\oplus T)={\sigma }_{{\mathrm{SBF}}_{+}^{-}}\left(S\right)\cup {\sigma }_{{\mathrm{SBF}}_{+}^{-}}\left(T\right)$, where ${\sigma }_{{\mathrm{SBF}}_{+}^{-}}\left(T\right)$ is the upper semi-B-Weyl spectrum of $T$. We obtain analogous preservation results for the properties $\left(\mathrm{SBaw}\right)$,...

We show that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\otimes ̂{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1 ≤ p,q < s and that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\widehat{\otimes ̂}{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1/p + 1/q > 1 + 1/s.

We give a complete classification of right coideal subalgebras that contain all grouplike elements for the quantum group $U_q^{+}\left({\mathrm{𝔰𝔬}}_{2n+1}\right)$ provided that $q$ is not a root of 1. If $q$ has a finite multiplicative order $t>4$; this classification remains valid for homogeneous right coideal subalgebras of the Frobenius–Lusztig kernel $u_q^{+}\left({\mathrm{𝔰𝔬}}_{2n+1}\right)$. In particular, the total number of right coideal subalgebras that contain the coradical equals $\left(2n\right)!!$; the order of the Weyl group defined by the root system of type $B_n$.

In a Tychonoff space $X$, the point $p\in X$ is called a $C^{*}$-point if every real-valued continuous function on $C\setminus \left\{p\right\}$ can be extended continuously to $p$. Every point in an extremally disconnected space is a $C^{*}$-point. A classic example is the space ${𝐖}^{*}={\omega }_1+1$ consisting of the countable ordinals together with ${\omega }_1$. The point ${\omega }_1$ is known to be a $C^{*}$-point as well as a $P$-point. We supply a characterization of $C^{*}$-points in totally ordered spaces. The remainder of our time is aimed at studying when a point in a product space...

Let $F$ be a closed subset of ${ℝ}^n$ and let $P\left(x\right)$ denote the metric projection (closest point mapping) of $x\in {ℝ}^n$ onto $F$ in $l^p$-norm. A classical result of Asplund states that $P$ is (Fréchet) differentiable almost everywhere (a.e.) in ${ℝ}^n$ in the Euclidean case $p=2$. We consider the case $2<p<\infty$ and prove that the $i$th component $P_i\left(x\right)$ of $P\left(x\right)$ is differentiable a.e. if $P_i\left(x\right)\ne x_i$ and satisfies Hölder condition of order $1/(p-1)$ if $P_i\left(x\right)=x_i$.

We show the change of coordinates that maps the maximally symmetric $(2,3,5)$-distribution given by solutions to the $k=\frac{2}{3}$ and $k=\frac{3}{2}$ generalised Chazy equation to the flat Cartan distribution. This establishes the local equivalence between the maximally symmetric $k=\frac{2}{3}$ and $k=\frac{3}{2}$ generalised Chazy distribution and the flat Cartan or Hilbert-Cartan distribution. We give the set of vector fields parametrised by solutions to the $k=\frac{2}{3}$ and $k=\frac{3}{2}$ generalised Chazy equation and the corresponding Ricci-flat conformal scale...
