Cohomologically Calibrated Affine Connections and Forced Irreducibility
Alexander Pigazzini, Magdalena Toda
We establish a principle of forced geometric irreducibility on product manifolds. We prove that for any product manifold , a cohomologically calibrated affine conn…

Cohomologically calibrated affine connections and the Einstein condition on
Alexander Pigazzini, Magdalena Toda
This paper applies the recently developed framework of cohomologically calibrated affine connections to the fundamental problem of constructing non-Riemannian Einstein manifolds. I…

Positive biorthogonal curvature on via affine connection
Alexander Pigazzini
We address the long-standing problem of the existence of a Riemannian metric on \(S^2\times T^2\) with strictly positive biorthogonal curvature (\( K_{\text{biort}}(σ) > 0 \)). Thi…
