G-structure on a manifold

In differential geometry, a G-structure on an n-manifold M, for a given structure group G, is a principal G-subbundle of the tangent frame bundle FM (or GL(M)) of M. The notion of G-structures includes various classical structures that can be defined on manifolds, which in some cases are tensor fields. For example, for the orthogonal group, an O(n)-structure defines a Riemannian metric, and for the special linear group an SL(n,R)-structure is the same as a volume form. For the trivial group, an {e}-structure consists of an absolute parallelism of the manifold. Generalising this idea to arbitrary principal bundles on topological spaces, one can ask if a principal -bundle over a group "comes from" a subgroup of . This is called reduction of the structure group (to ). Several structures on manifolds, such as a complex structure, a symplectic structure, or a Kähler structure, are G-structures with an additional integrability condition. (Wikipedia).

What is a manifold?

I define topological manifolds. Motivated by the prospect of calculus on topological manifolds, I introduce smooth manifolds. At the end I point out how one needs to change the definitions, to obtain C^1 or even complex manifolds. To learn more about manifolds, see Lee's "Introduction to

A. Song - What is the (essential) minimal volume? 4 (version temporaire)

I will discuss the notion of minimal volume and some of its variants. The minimal volume of a manifold is defined as the infimum of the volume over all metrics with sectional curvature between -1 and 1. Such an invariant is closely related to "collapsing theory", a far reaching set of resu

Abstract: Twistor spaces of K3 surfaces are non-Kähler compact complex manifolds which play a fundamental role in the moduli theory of K3 surfaces. They come equipped with a holomorphic submersion to the complex projective line which under the period map corresponds to a twistor line in th
