In this paper, we study the geometry of lightlike hypersurfaces of a semi-Riemannian manifold. We prove a classification theorem for Einstein lightlike hypersurfaces M of a Lorentzian space form subject such that the second fundamental forms of M and its screen distribution S(TM) are conformally related by some non-vanishing smooth function.

In this paper, we prove a classification theorem for Einstein lightlike hypersurfaces M of a Lorentzian space form ($\bar{M}$(c), $\bar{g}$) with a semi-symmetric metric connection subject such that the second fundamental forms of M and its screen distribution S(TM) are conformally related by some non-zero constant.

The aim of this short paper is to show some rigidity results for the actions of certain finitely presented groups by homeomorphisms. As an interesting and special case, we show that the actions of Higman-Thompson groups by homeomorphisms on a cohomology manifold with a non-zero Euler characteristic should be trivial. This is related to the wellknown Zimmer program and shows that the actions by homeomorphism could be very much different from those by diffeomorphisms.

In this paper, we study certain doubly-warped products which admit gradient Ricci solitons with harmonic Weyl curvature and non-constant soliton function. The metric is of the form $g=dx^2_1+p(x_1)^2dx^2_2+h(x_1)^2\;{\tilde{g}}$ on ${\mathbb{R}}^2{\times}N$, where $x_1$, $x_2$ are the local coordinates on ${\mathbb{R}}^2$ and ${\tilde{g}}$ is an Einstein metric on the manifold N. We obtained a full description of all the possible local gradient Ricci solitons.

Main interest of the present paper is to investigate the criticality of characteristic vector fields on almost cosymplectic manifolds. Killing critical characteristic vector fields are absolute minima. This paper contains some examples of non-Killing critical characteristic vector fields.

A Damek-Ricci space is a typical locally harmonic manifold, which is a generalization of the rank one symmetric space of the non-compact type. In this paper, we determine explicitly the characteristic function of a Damek-Ricci space by calculating the determinant of a Jacobi tensor.

We examine the moduli space of oriented locally homogeneous manifolds of Type ${\mathcal{A}}$ which have non-degenerate symmetric Ricci tensor both in the setting of manifolds with torsion and also in the torsion free setting where the dimension is at least 3. These exhibit phenomena that is very different than in the case of surfaces. In dimension 3, we determine all the possible symmetry groups in the torsion free setting.

Let X be a smooth, closed, connected spin 4-manifold with $b_1(X)=0$ and signature ${\sigma}-(X)$. In this paper we use Seiberg-Witten theory to prove that if X admits a spin alternating $A_4$ action, then $b^+_2(X)$ ${\geq}$ |${\sigma}{(X)}$|/8+3 under some non-degeneracy conditions.

Let M be a compact orientable closed 3-manifold, and F a non-separating incompressible closed surface in M. Let M' = M - ${\eta}(F)$, where ${\eta}(F)$ is an open regular neighborhood of F in M. In the paper, we give a lower bound of genus of self-amalgamation of minimal Heegaard splitting $V'\;{\cup}_{S'}\;W'$ of M' under some conditions on the distance of the Heegaard splitting.

In the present paper, we nd the conditions to characterize projective change between two (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metrics, such as Matsumoto metric $L=\frac{{\alpha}^2}{{\alpha}-{\beta}}$ and Randers metric $\bar{L}=\bar{\alpha}+\bar{\beta}$ on a manifold with dim $n$ > 2, where ${\alpha}$ and $\bar{\alpha}$ are two Riemannian metrics, ${\beta}$ and $\bar{\beta}$ are two non-zero 1-formas.
