Balanced HKT metrics and strong HKT metrics on hypercomplex manifolds

A manifold (M, I, J,K) is called hypercomplex if I, J,K are complex structures satisfying quaternionic relations. A quaternionic Hermitian hypercomplex manifold is called HKT (hyperkähler with torsion) if the (2,0)-form Ω associated with the corresponding Sp(n)-structure satisfies ∂Ω = 0. A Hermitian metric ω on a complex manifold is called balanced if d∗ω = 0. We show that balanced HKT metrics...

Twistor spaces for HKT manifolds

We construct the twistor space associated with an HKT manifold, that is, a hyper-Kähler manifold with torsion, a type of geometry that arises as the target space geometry in two-dimensional sigma models with (4,0) supersymmetry. We show that this twistor space has a natural complex structure and is a holomorphic fibre bundle over the complex projective line with fibre the associated HKT manifol...

The label advertising behavior of an LDP speaker for a given Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) is governed by the FEC type and not necessarily by the LDP session's negotiated label advertisement mode. This document updates RFC 5036 to make that fact clear. It also updates RFCs 3212, 4447, 5918, 6388, and 7140 by specifying the label advertisement mode for all currently defined LDP FEC types. I...

Endophilin-B1, also known as Bax-interacting factor 1 (Bif-1, and encoded by SH3GLB1), is a multifunctional protein involved in apoptosis, autophagy and mitochondrial function. We recently described a unique neuroprotective role for neuron-specific alternatively spliced isoforms of endophilin-B1. To examine whether endophilin-B1-mediated neuroprotection could be a novel therapeutic target for A...
