On Hermitian manifolds whose Chern connection is Ambrose-Singer [PDF]
We consider the class of compact Hermitian manifolds whose Chern connection is Ambrose-Singer, namely, it has parallel torsion and curvature. We prove structure theorems for such manifolds.

Nullity distributions associated with Chern connection [PDF]
The nullity distributions of the two curvature tensors \, $\overast{R}$ and $\overast{P}$ of the Chern connection of a Finsler manifold are investigated. The completeness of the nullity foliation associated with the nullity distribution $\N_{R^\ast}$ is proved. Two counterexamples are given: the first shows that $\N_{R^\ast}$ does not coincide with the

Invariant solutions to the Strominger system and the heterotic equations of motion [PDF]
We construct many new invariant solutions to the Strominger system with respect to a 2-parameter family of metric connections ∇ε,ρ in the anomaly cancellation equation.

Chern connection of a pseudo-Finsler metric as a family of affine connections [PDF]
We consider the Chern connection of a (conic) pseudo-Finsler manifold $(M,L)$ as a linear connection $\nabla^V$ on any open subset $ \subset M$ associated to any vector field $V$ on $ $ which is non-zero everywhere. This connection is torsion-free and almost metric compatible with respect to the fundamental tensor $g$. Then we show some properties of

Chern-Simons classes of flat connections on supermanifolds [PDF]
In this note we define Chern-Simons classes of a superconnection $D+L$ on a complex supervector bundle $E$ such that $D$ is flat and preserves the grading, and $L$ is an odd endomorphism of $E$ on a supermanifold. As an application we obtain a definition of Chern-Simons classes of a (not necessarily flat) morphism between flat vector bundles on a ...

Super Chern–Simons theory and flat super connections on a torus [PDF]
We study the moduli space of a super Chern-Simons theory on a manifold with the topology ${\bf R}\times $, where $ $ is a compact surface. The moduli space is that of flat super connections modulo gauge transformations on $ $, and we study in detail the case when $ $ is atorus and the supergroup is $OSp(m|2n)$.

Spectral triples from bimodule connections and Chern connections [PDF]
We give a geometrical construction of Connes spectral triples or noncommutative Dirac operators \def\Dslash{{\mathrlap{\,/}{D}}}\Dslash starting with a bimodule connection on the proposed spinor bundle. The theory is applied to the example of

Corrigendum to "Chern connection of a pseudo-Finsler metric as a family\n of affine connections" [PDF]
In this note, we give the correct statements of [2,Proposition 3.3 and Theorem 3.4] and a formula of the Chern curvature in terms of the curvature tensor $R^V$ of the affine connection $\nabla^V$ and the Chern tensor $P$.

Explicit Connection Between Conformal Field Theory and 2+1 Chern–Simons Theory [PDF]
We give explicit field theoretical representations for the observables of (2+1)-dimensional Chern–Simons theory in terms of gauge-invariant composites of 2-D WZW fields. To test our identification we compute some basic Wilson loop correlators and re-obtain the known results.
