Abstract

We classify all complex generalized spin-c Killing spinors with complex Killing function $iμ-α$ on complete Riemannian surfaces, presenting an explicit list of all possible cases. We show that, contrary to previous statements in the literature, there exist complex generalized spin-c Killing spinors on Riemannian surfaces for which $αμ\not\equiv0$. We illustrate the classification by providing several explicit local, compact, and complete examples, including a complete example for which $αμ>0$ everywhere. We then move to three dimensions, proving that a spin-c Riemannian three-manifold admits a complex generalized spin-c Killing spinor with complex Killing function $iμ-α$ if and only if it is a $μ$-exact trans-Sasakian manifold of type $(α,μ)$. In addition, we construct a geodesically incomplete Riemannian three-manifold equipped with a complex generalized spin-c Killing spinor for which neither $μ$ nor $α$ vanishes identically, and then prove that this is not possible if the characteristic vector field of the associated trans-Sasakian structure is complete. These results settle a conjecture by Große and Nakad (Results in Mathematics, 2015) stating that on two- and three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds the complex Killing function of any complex generalized spin-c Killing spinor must be either globally real or globally imaginary.

Lin-Lu-Yau Ricci curvature on hypergraphs

In this paper, we introduce a unified framework for defining Lin-Lu-Yau (LLY) Ricci curvature on both undirected and directed hypergraphs. By establishing upper bounds and monotonicity properties for the parameterized curvature $κ_α$, we justify the well-posedness and compatibility of our definitions. Furthermore, we prove a Bonnet-Myers-type theorem for hypergraphs, which highlights the potential of LLY Ricci curvature in hypergraph analysis, particularly in studying geometric and structural properties. Our results extends the foundational definitions of graph Ricci curvature by Ollivier and Lin-Lu-Yau to the hypergraph setting.

Characterizations of weak almost ${\mathcal S}$-manifolds with curvature properties

Weak metric structures, introduced by Rovenski and Wolak in 2022, extend Yano's $f$-structure and almost contact metric structure. In this paper, we investigate curvature phenomena of weak almost ${\cal S}$-manifolds (w.a.$\,\cal S$-manifolds) focusing on the $f$-$(κ,μ)$-nullity condition and its special case $R_{X,Y}\,ξ=0$. We establish several results that generalize known rigidity theorems for almost ${\cal S}$-manifolds. First, using the partial Ricci flow, we obtain dynamical characterizations of $\cal S$-manifolds: starting from a w.a.$\,\cal S$-structure satisfying the curvature condition of $\cal S$-manifolds or the $f$-$(1,μ)$-nullity condition, the flow evolves the structure exponentially fast toward an $\cal S$-structure. This extends results of Cappelletti Montano and Di~Terlizzi to the weak metric setting. Next, we identify conditions under which a w.a.\,${\cal S}$-manifold admits a bi-Legendrian structure with totally geodesic foliations. Finally, for w.a.$\,\cal S$-manifolds with $κ=μ=0$, we prove a splitting theorem in which one factor is flat and the another has positive constant sectional curvature, generalizing classical results for almost $\cal S$-geometry. These findings have consequences for the theory of Sasakian and $\cal S$- manifolds, the geometry of bi-Legendrian structures, and the behavior of weak metric contact manifolds under curvature constraints.

Kähler geometry on total spaces of vector bundles over elliptic curves

We study function theory and Kähler geometry on total spaces of vector bundles over an elliptic curve. Our main result characterizes the vector bundles whose total spaces admit complete Kähler metrics with nonnegative bisectional curvature ($BI \geq 0$ for short). We also obtain explicit expressions for all complete Kähler metrics with $BI \geq 0$ on the total space of a line bundle over a complex torus. These results are related to a general conjecture concerning the structure of complete Kähler manifolds with $BI \geq 0$. For rank-two vector bundles of degree zero over elliptic curves, we study holomorphic functions and automorphisms on the corresponding total spaces, and construct complete Gauduchon Hermitian metrics with vanishing Chern-Ricci curvature. These metrics are natural in the sense that the associated spaces of holomorphic functions of polynomial growth coincide with the ``polynomials'' on these total spaces.
