Einstein Metrics on solvable groups.
We study 4-dimensional Einstein-Hermitian non-Kähler manifolds admitting a certain anti-Hermitian structure. We also describe Einstein 4-manifolds which are of cohomogeneity 1 with respect to an at least 4-dimensional group of isometries.
One proves that semi-symmetric spaces with a Codazzi or Killing Ricci tensor are locally symmetric. Some applications of this result are given.
We study Weyl structures on lightlike hypersurfaces endowed with a conformal structure of certain type and specific screen distribution: the Weyl screen structures. We investigate various differential geometric properties of Einstein-Weyl screen structures on lightlike hypersurfaces and show that, for ambient Lorentzian space ℝ1n+2 and a totally umbilical screen foliation, there is a strong interplay with the induced (Riemannian) Weyl-structure on the leaves.
In this paper we compute the Poincaré-Hodge polynomial of a symmetric product of a compact kähler manifold, following the method used by Macdonald, in the topological case, to compute the Poincaré polynomial of a compact polyhedron, and we give some applications, in particular to the case of curves.
Building on the theory of elliptic operators, we give a unified treatment of the following topics: - the problem of homotopy invariance of Novikov’s higher signatures on closed manifolds, - the problem of cut-and-paste invariance of Novikov’s higher signatures on closed manifolds, - the problem of defining higher signatures on manifolds with boundary and proving their homotopy invariance.
In this paper, we review several recent results dealing with elliptic equations with non local diffusion. More precisely, we investigate several problems involving the fractional laplacian. Finally, we present a conformally covariant operator and the associated singular and regular Yamabe problem.
For a Fedosov manifold (symplectic manifold equipped with a symplectic torsion-free affine connection) admitting a metaplectic structure, we shall investigate two sequences of first order differential operators acting on sections of certain infinite rank vector bundles defined over this manifold. The differential operators are symplectic analogues of the twistor operators known from Riemannian or Lorentzian spin geometry. It is known that the mentioned sequences form complexes if the symplectic...
