In this paper, we characterize neutral Kähler surfaces in terms of their positive twistor bundle. We prove that an O+,+(2,2)-oriented four-dimensional neutral semi-Riemannian manifold (M,g) admits a complex structure J with ΩJ∈⋀−M, such that (M,g,J) is a neutral-Kähler manifold if and only if the twistor bundle (Z1(M),gc) admits a vertical Killing vector field.

Abstract In this paper, we characterize almost co-Kähler manifolds with a conformal vector field. It is proven that if an almost co-Kähler manifold has a conformal vector field that is collinear with the Reeb vector field, then the manifold is a K-almost co-Kähler manifold. It is also shown that if a (κ, μ)-almost co-Kähler manifold admits a Killing vector field V, then either the manifold is K-almost co-Kähler or the vector field V is an infinitesimal strict contact transformation, provided that the (1,1) tensor h remains invariant under the Killing vector field.

AbstractOn a compact Kähler manifold X with a holomorphic 2-form α, there is an almost complex structure associated with α. We show how this implies vanishing theorems for the Gromov–Witten invariants of X. This extends the approach used by Parker and the author for Kähler surfaces to higher dimensions.

Abstract The underlying complex structure of an ALE Kähler manifold is exhibited as a resolution of a deformation of an isolated quotient singularity. As a consequence, there exist only finitely many diffeomorphism types of minimal ALE Kähler surfaces with a given group at infinity.

In this article, we study Jacobi-type vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. A Killing vector field is a Jacobi-type vector field while the converse is not true, leading to a natural question of finding conditions under which a Jacobi-type vector field is Killing. In this article, we first prove that every Jacobi-type vector field on a compact Riemannian manifold is Killing. Then, we find several necessary and sufficient conditions for a Jacobi-type vector field to be a Killing vector field on non-compact Riemannian manifolds. Further, we derive some characterizations of Euclidean spaces in terms of Jacobi-type vector fields. Finally, we provide examples of Jacobi-type vector fields on non-compact Riemannian manifolds, which are non-Killing.

In this paper we establish some theorems about the group of affine transformations on a Riemannian manifold. First we prove a decomposition theorem (Theorem 1) of the largest connected group of affine transformations on a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold, which corresponds to the decomposition theorem of de Rham [4] for the manifold. In the case of the largest group of isometries, a theorem of the same type is found in de Rham’s paper [4] in a weaker form. Using Theorem 1 we obtain a sufficient condition for an infinitesimal affine transformation to be a Killing vector field (Theorem 2). This result includes K. Yano’s theorem [13] which states that on a compact Riemannian manifold an infinitesimal affine transformation is always a Killing vector field. His proof of the theorem depends on an integral formula which is valid only for a compact manifold. Our method is quite different and is based on a result [11] of K. Nomizu.

The purpose of this paper is to prove the followingTheorem. Let M be a Riemannian manifold of dimension n and let ξ be a Killing vector field (i.e., infinitesimal isometry) of M. Let F be the set of points x of M where ξ vanishes and let F = ∪ Vi, where the Vi’s are the connected components of F. Then (assuming F to be non-empty)

In this article, it has been observed that a unit Killing vector field ξ on an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold (M,g), influences its algebra of smooth functions C∞(M). For instance, if h is an eigenfunction of the Laplace operator Δ with eigenvalue λ, then ξ(h) is also eigenfunction with same eigenvalue. Additionally, it has been observed that the Hessian Hh(ξ,ξ) of a smooth function h∈C∞(M) defines a self adjoint operator ⊡ξ and has properties similar to most of properties of the Laplace operator on a compact Riemannian manifold (M,g). We study several properties of functions associated to the unit Killing vector field ξ. Finally, we find characterizations of the odd dimensional sphere using properties of the operator ⊡ξ and the nontrivial solution of Fischer–Marsden differential equation, respectively.
