In this paper we study the twistor space $Z$ of an oriented Riemannian four-manifold $M$ using the moving frame approach, focusing, in particular, on the Einstein, non-self-dual setting. We prove that any general first-order linear condition on the almost complex structures of $Z$ forces the underlying manifold $M$ to be self-dual, also recovering most of the known related rigidity results. Thus, we are naturally lead to consider first-order quadratic conditions, showing that the Atiyah-Hitchin-Singer almost Hermitian twistor space of an Einstein four-manifold bears a resemblance, in a suitable sense, to a nearly Kahler manifold.

We describe the relation between supersymmetric sigma-models on hyperkahler manifolds, projective superspace, and twistor space. We review the essential aspects and present a coherent picture with a number of new results.
In this paper, we prove that the deformed Riemannian extension of any affine Szabo manifold is a Szabo pseudo-Riemannian metric and vice-versa. We proved that the Ricci tensor of an affine surface is skew-symmetric and nonzero everywhere if and only if the affine surface is Szabo. We also find the necessary and sufficient condition for the affine Szabo surface to be recurrent. We prove that for an affine Szabo recurrent surface the recurrence covector of a recurrence tensor is not locally a gradient.

For any closed smooth Riemannian manifold H. Weyl has defined a sequence of numbers called today intrinsic volumes. They include volume, Euler characteristic, and integral of the scalar curvature. We conjecture that absolute values of all intrinsic v olumes are bounded by a constant depending only on the dimension of the manifold, upper bound on its diameter, and lower bound on the sectional curvature. Furthermore we conjecture that intrinsic volumes can be defined for some (so called smoothable) Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below and state few of the expected properties of them, particularly the behavior under the Gromov-Hausdorff limits. We suggest conjectural compactifications of the space of smooth closed connected Riemannian manifolds with given upper bounds on dimension and diameter and a lower bound on sectional curvature to which the intrinsic volumes extend by continuity. We discuss also known cases of some of these conjectures.

We prove a Freed-Uhlenbeck style generic smoothness theorem for the moduli space of solutions to the Vafa--Witten equations on a closed symplectic four-manifold by using a method developed by Feehan for the study of the $PU(2)$-monopole equations on smooth closed four-manifolds. We introduce a set of perturbation terms to the Vafa--Witten equations, and prove that the moduli space of solutions to the perturbed Vafa-Witten equations on a closed symplectic four-manifold for the structure group $SU(2)$ or $SO(3)$ is a smooth manifold of dimension zero for a generic choice of the perturbation parameters.

A {em 2-Riemannian manifold} is a differentiable manifold exhibiting a 2-inner product on each tangent space. We first study lower dimensional 2-Riemannian manifolds by giving necessary and sufficient conditions for flatness. Afterward we associate t o each 2-Riemannian manifold a unique torsion free compatible pseudoconnection. Using it we define a curvature for 2-Riemannian manifolds and study its properties. We also prove that 2-Riemannian pseudoconnections do not have Koszul derivatives. Moreover, we define stationary vector field with respect to a 2-Riemannian metric and prove that the stationary vector fields in $mathbb{R}^2$ with respect to the 2-Riemannian metric induced by the Euclidean product are the divergence free ones.
