Let Md and be Riemannian manifolds. We shall say that an isometric immersion ϕ: Md —> is isotropic provided that all its normal curvature vectors have the same length. The class of such immersions is closed under compositions and Cartesian products. Umbilic immersions (e.g. Sd ⊂ Rd+1) are isotropic, but the converse does not hold. If M and are Kähler manifolds of constant holomorphic curvature, then any Kähler immersion of M in is automatically isotropic (Lemma 6). We shall find the smallest co-dimension for which there exist non-trivial immersions of this type, and obtain similar results in the real constant-curvature case.

Positive Quaternion Kähler Manifolds are Riemannian manifolds with holonomy contained in Sp(n)Sp(1) and with positive scalar curvature. Conjecturally, they are symmetric spaces. We prove this conjecture in dimension 20 under additional assumptions and we provide recognition theorems for the real Grassmannian [Formula: see text] in almost all dimensions.

In this paper, we give some rigidity results for both harmonic and pseudoharmonic maps from pseudo-Hermitian manifolds into Riemannian manifolds or Kähler manifolds. Some foliated results, pluriharmonicity and Siu–Sampson type results are established for both harmonic maps and pseudoharmonic maps.

In this paper, we construct metallic Kähler and nearly metallic Kähler structures on Riemannian manifolds. For such manifolds with these structures, we study curvature properties. Also, we describe linear connections on the manifold which preserve the associated fundamental 2-form and satisfy some additional conditions and present some results concerning them.

We establish a Schwarz lemma for $V$-harmonic maps of generalised dilatation between Riemannian manifolds. We apply the result to obtain corresponding results for Weyl harmonic maps of generalised dilatation from conformal Weyl manifolds to Riemannian manifolds and holomorphic maps from almost Hermitian manifolds to quasi-Kähler and almost Kähler manifolds.

In this paper we extend the work on affine immersions [N-Pi]-1 to the case of affine immersions between complex manifolds and lay the foundation for the geometry of affine Kähler immersions. The notion of affine Kähler immersion extends that of a holomorphic and isometric immersion between Kähler manifolds and can be contrasted to the notion of holomorphic affine immersion which has been established in the work of Dillen, Vrancken and Verstraelen [D-V-V] and that of Abe [A].
