Pseudo-Kähler and pseudo-Sasaki structures on Einstein solvmanifolds

On Pseudo-hermitian Einstein Spaces

We describe and construct here pseudo-Hermitian structures θ without torsion (i.e. with transversal symmetry) whose Webster-Ricci curvature tensor is a constant multiple of the exterior differential dθ. We call these structures pseudo-Hermitian Einstein and our result states that they all can be derived locally from Kähler-Einstein metrics. Moreover, we discuss the corresponding Fefferman metri...

Higher rank Einstein solvmanifolds

In this paper we study the structure of standard Einstein solvmanifolds of arbitrary rank. Also the validity of a variational method for finding standard Einstein solvmanifolds is proved.

Einstein solvmanifolds and nilsolitons

The purpose of the present expository paper is to give an account of the recent progress and present status of the classification of solvable Lie groups admitting an Einstein left invariant Riemannian metric, the only known examples so far of noncompact Einstein homogeneous manifolds. The problem turns to be equivalent to the classification of Ricci soliton left invariant metrics on nilpotent L...

Random and Pseudo-Random Structures

Analytic and pseudo-analytic structures

One of the questions frequently asked nowadays about model theory is whether it is still logic. The reason for asking the question is mainly that more and more of model theoretic research focuses on concrete mathematical fields, uses extensively their tools and attacks their inner problems. Nevertheless the logical roots in the case of model theoretic geometric stability theory are not only cle...
