Geometrical aspects of spinor and twistor analysis [PDF]

open access: yes
This work is concerned with two examples of the interactions between differential geometry and analysis, both related to spinors. The first example is the Dirac operator on conformal spin manifolds with boundary.

The quaternionic geometry of four-dimensional conformal field theory

open access: yes, 1998
We show that four-dimensional conformal field theory is most naturally formulated on Kulkarni 4-folds, i.e. real 4-folds endowed with an integrable quaternionic structure.

The conformal geometry of billiards [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 2010
This article provides an introduction to some recent results in billiard dynamics. We present results that follow from a study of compact Riemann surfaces (equipped with a holomorphic 1-form) and an

Schouten tensor equations in conformal geometry with prescribed boundary metric

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2005
We deform the metric conformally on a manifold with boundary. This induces a deformation of the Schouten tensor. We fix the metric at the boundary and realize a prescribed value for the product of the eigenvalues of the Schouten tensor in the interior ...

New conformal invariants in absolute parallelism geometry

open access: yes, 2017
The aim of the present paper is to investigate conformal changes in absolute parallelism geometry. We find out some new conformal invariants in terms of the Weitzenböck connection and the Levi-Civita connection of an absolute parallelism space.

Recent Progress in Conformal Geometry

open access: yesAdvanced Nonlinear Studies, 2003
Abstract In this paper, we describe new results in Contact Form Geometry and Yamabe-type problems. We provide in Contact Form Geometry a new way to use the results of [10] and define a homology. We emphasize the connections with the area of pseudeholomorphic curves.

Modular transformations of admissible N = 2 and Affine sl(2|1;C) characters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This thesis is a study of the affine super-algebra sl(2|l; C) and N = 2 superconformal algebra at fractional levels. In the first chapter we review background material on Conformal Field Theory, and how it appears in the context of string theory and the ...

Distinguished curves and submanifolds in conformal geometry

open access: yes, 2022
Conformal geometry is a weakening of Riemannian geometry where one works with a smooth manifold equipped with an equivalence class of Riemannian metrics, where two metrics are equivalent if and only if they define the same angles between curves. Early

Quasi-conformal curvature tensor on sequential doubly warped product manifolds with applications

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
This paper introduces a comprehensive geometric framework that bridges two important but previously disconnected areas of Riemannian geometry: the theory of sequential doubly warped product (SDWP) manifolds and the theory of quasi-conformal curvature ...
