A compact solvmanifold of completely solvable type, i.e. a compact quotient of a completely solvable Lie group by a lattice, has a Kahler structure if and only if it is a complex torus. We show more in general that a compact solvmanifold $M$ of completely solvable type endowed with an invariant complex structure $J$ admits a symplectic form taming J if and only if $M$ is a complex torus. This result generalizes the one obtained in [7] for nilmanifolds.
In this article, we consider a gauge-theoretic equation on compact symplectic 6-manifolds, which forms an elliptic system after gauge fixing. This can be thought of as a higher-dimensional analogue of the Seiberg-Witten equation. By using the virtual neighbourhood method by Ruan, we define an integer-valued invariant, a 6-dimensional Seiberg-Witten invariant, from the moduli space of solutions to the equations, assuming that the moduli space is compact; and it has no reducible solutions. We prove that the moduli spaces are compact if the underlying manifold is a compact Kahler threefold. We then compute the integers in some cases.
We show that a complete submanifold $M$ with tamed second fundamental form in a complete Riemannian manifold $N$ with sectional curvature $K_{N}leq kappa leq 0$ are proper, (compact if $N$ is compact). In addition, if $N$ is Hadamard then $M$ has finite topology. We also show that the fundamental tone is an obstruction for a Riemannian manifold to be realized as submanifold with tamed second fundamental form of a Hadamard manifold with sectional curvature bounded below.
A nilsoliton is a nilpotent Lie algebra $mathfrak{g}$ with a metric such that $operatorname{Ric}=lambda operatorname{Id}+D$, with $D$ a derivation. For indefinite metrics, this determines four different geometries, according to whether $lambda$ and $D$ are zero or not. We illustrate with examples the greater flexibility of the indefinite case compared to the Riemannian setting. We determine the algebraic properties that $D$ must satisfy when it is nonzero. For each of the four geometries, we show that under suitable assumptions it is possible to extend the nilsoliton metric to an Einstein solvmanifold of the form $mathfrak{g}rtimes mathbb{R}^k$. Conversely, we introduce a large class of indefinite Einstein solvmanifolds of the form $mathfrak{g}rtimes mathbb{R}^k$ that determine a nilsoliton metric on $mathfrak{g}$ by restriction. We show with examples that, unlike in the Riemannian case, one cannot establish a correspondence between the full classes of Einstein solvmanifolds and nilsolitons.
We study, from the extrinsic point of view, the structure at infinity of open submanifolds isometrically immersed in the real space forms of constant sectional curvature $kappa leq 0$. We shall use the decay of the second fundamental form of the the so-called tamed immersions to obtain a description at infinity of the submanifold in the line of the structural results in the papers Internat. Math. Res. Notices 1994, no. 9, authored by R. E. Greene, P. Petersen and S. Zhou and Math. Ann. 2001, 321 (4), authored by A. Petrunin and W. Tuschmann. We shall obtain too an estimation from below of the number of its ends in terms of the volume growth of a special class of extrinsic domains, the extrinsic balls.
We show that the compact quotient $Gammabackslashmathrm{G}$ of a seven-dimensional simply connected Lie group $mathrm{G}$ by a co-compact discrete subgroup $Gammasubsetmathrm{G}$ does not admit any exact $mathrm{G}_2$-structure which is induced by a left-invariant one on $mathrm{G}$.
