We prove the asymptotic lens equivalence in manifolds without conjugate points. By using this property we show that under a metric condition of asymptotically Euclidean and the curvature condition decaying faster than quadratic, any surface $(R^2,g)$ without conjugate points is Euclidean.

We study the existence of surjective morphisms between Fano manifolds of Picard number 1, when the source is given by the intersection of a cubic hypersurface and either a quadric or another cubic hypersurface in a projective space.

Given a non-Haken, non Seifert fibred manifold we describe an algorithm that takes 2 (not necessarily distinct) Heegaard surfaces and produces a complex with certain useful properties (Properties 5.1). Our main tool is Rubinstein and Scharlemann's Cerf theoretic work ([5]).

In this paper, when N is a compact Riemannian manifold of class (C), we consider the nonexistence of some warping functions on Riemannian warped product manifolds $M=[a,\;{\infty}){\times}_fN$ with prescribed scalar curvatures.

We establish the generalized Myers theorem for Finsler manifolds under integral Ricci curvature bound. More precisely, we show that the forward complete Finsler n-manifold whose part of Ricci curvature less than a positive constant is small in $L^p$-norm (for p > n/2) have bounded diameter and finite fundamental group.

In this paper we study the properties of conformally recurrent pseudo Riemannian manifolds admitting a proper conformal vector field with respect to the scalar field ${\sigma}$, focusing particularly on the 4-dimensional Lorentzian case. Some general properties already proven by one of the present authors for pseudo conformally symmetric manifolds endowed with a conformal vector field are proven also in the case, and some new others are stated. Moreover interesting results are pointed out; for example, it is proven that the Ricci tensor under certain conditions is Weyl compatible: this notion was recently introduced and investigated by one of the present authors. Further we study conformally recurrent 4-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds (space-times) admitting a conformal vector field: it is proven that the covector ${\sigma}_j$ is null and unique up to scaling; moreover it is shown that the same vector is an eigenvector of the Ricci tensor. Finally, it is stated that such space-time is of Petrov type N with respect to ${\sigma}_j$.

We study the self-duality operator on conic 4-manifolds. The self-duality operator can be identified as a regular singular operator in the sense of $Br\"{u}ning$ and Seeley, based on which we construct its parametrizations and closed extensions. We also compute the indexes.

B. Y. Chen introduced a series of curvature invariants, known as Chen invariants, and proved sharp estimates for these intrinsic invariants in terms of the main extrinsic invariant, the squared mean curvature, for submanifolds in Riemannian space forms. Special classes of submanifolds in Sasakian manifolds play an important role in contact geometry. F. Defever, I. Mihai and L. Verstraelen [8] established Chen first inequality for C-totally real submanifolds in Sasakian space forms. Also, the differential geometry of slant submanifolds has shown an increasing development since B. Y. Chen defined slant submanifolds in complex manifolds as a generalization of both holomorphic and totally real submanifolds. The slant submanifolds of an almost contact metric manifolds were defined and studied by A. Lotta, J. L. Cabrerizo et al. A Chen first inequality for slant submanifolds in Sasakian space forms was established by A. Carriazo [4]. In this article, we improve this Chen first inequality for special contact slant submanifolds in Sasakian space forms.

In this paper we prove that a $\phi$-recurrent (k, $\mu$)-contact metric manifold is an $\eta$-Einstein manifold with constant coefficients. Next, we prove that a three-dimensional locally $\phi$-recurrent (k, $\mu$)-contact metric manifold is the space of constant curvature. The existence of $\phi$-recurrent (k, $\mu$)-manifold is proved by a non-trivial example.
