Canonical Bochner-Kähler potentials via the Sasaki-Kähler correspondence
Martin Kolář, Gerd Schmalz, David Sykes
We introduce a new approach to the study of Bochner-Kähler manifolds, based on normal form techniques in CR geometry. As observed by Webster, Bochner-Kähler manifolds are intimatel…

Einstein manifolds with optical geometries of Kerr type
Masoud Ganji, Cristina Giannotti, Gerd Schmalz +1
We classify the Ricci flat Lorentzian -manifolds satisfying three particular conditions, encoding and combining some crucial features of the Kerr metrics and the Robinson-Trautm…

The Levi-Civita connections of manifolds with prescribed optical geometries
Dmitri V. Alekseevsky, Masoud Ganji, Gerd Schmalz +1
We explicitly derive the Christoffel symbols in terms of adapted frame fields for the Levi-Civita connection of a Lorentzian -manifold , equipped with a prescribed optic…
