Ricci-flat and Einstein pseudoriemannian nilmanifolds
This is partly an expository paper, where the authors’ work on pseudoriemannian Einstein metrics on nilpotent Lie groups is reviewed. A new criterion is given for the existence of a diagonal Einstein metric on a nice nilpotent Lie group.

On the smallest Laplace eigenvalue for naturally reductive metrics on compact simple Lie groups [PDF]
Eldredge, Gordina and Saloff-Coste recently conjectured that, for a given compact connected Lie group $G$, there is a positive real number $C$ such that $\lambda_1(G,g)\operatorname{diam}(G,g)^2\leq C$ for all left-invariant metrics $g$ on $G$.

Introduction to Grassmann manifolds and quantum computation
Geometrical aspects of quantum computing are reviewed elementarily for nonexperts and/or graduate students who are interested in both geometry and quantum computation. We show how to treat Grassmann manifolds which are very important examples of manifolds in mathematics and physics.

Some relations between Hodge numbers and invariant complex structures on compact nilmanifolds
Let N be a simply connected real nilpotent Lie group, n its Lie algebra, and € a lattice in N. If a left-invariant complex structure on N is Γ-rational, then HƏ̄s,t(Γ/N) ≃ HƏ̄s,t(nC) for each s; t.

A note on the uniqueness of the canonical connection of a naturally reductive space [PDF]
We extend the result in J. Reine Angew. Math. 664, 29-53, to the non-compact case. Namely, we prove that the canonical connection on a simply connected and irreducible naturally reductive space is unique, provided the space is not a sphere, a compact Lie

Contact metric manifolds with large automorphism group and (κ, µ)-spaces
We discuss the classifiation of simply connected, complete (κ, µ)-spaces from the point of view of homogeneous spaces. In particular, we exhibit new models of (κ, µ)-spaces having Boeckx invariant -1.

Contact manifolds, Lagrangian Grassmannians and PDEs
In this paper we review a geometric approach to PDEs. We mainly focus on scalar PDEs in n independent variables and one dependent variable of order one and two, by insisting on the underlying (2n + 1)-dimensional contact manifold and the so-called ...

A condition for a perfect-fluid space-time to be a generalized Robertson-Walker space-time [PDF]
A perfect-fluid space-time of dimension n>3 with 1) irrotational velocity vector field, 2) null divergence of the Weyl tensor, is a generalised Robertson-Walker space-time with Einstein fiber. Condition 1) is verified whenever pressure and energy density

Corrigendum for "A geometric proof of the Karpelevich-Mostow theorem" [PDF]
Corollary 2.3 in our paper "A geometric proof of the Karpelevich-Mostow theorem", Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 41 (2009), no. 4, 634-638, is false. Here we give a counterexample and show how to avoid the use of this corollary to give a simpler proof of ...

Examples of naturally reductive pseudo-Riemannian Lie groups
We provide examples of naturally reductive pseudo-Riemannian spaces, in particular an example of a naturally reductive pseudo-Riemannian 2-step nilpotent Lie group $(N, _N)$, such that $_N$ is invariant under a left action and for which the center is ...
