Holonomy groups of quotient Riemannian manifolds?

Let $(X,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold with holonomy group $Hol(X,g)$. Suppose that a finite group $G$ acts on $X$ freely and the metric $g$ is invariant under $G$. What can one say …

Algebraic characterization of the curvature operator of symmetric spaces

My question is the following : Given an algebraic curvature operator $R\in S^2_B(\Lambda^2\mathbb{R}^n)$, is there an a simple criterion to know if this curvature operator can …

Compactification of higher dimensional open Hyper-Kahler manifolds

Let (X,g,I,J,K) be a non compact Hayper-Kahler manifold. When g is an ALE metric and X is four dimensional, the one point compactification of X posses an orbifold structure .Is any …

Isometry groups of Riemannian submersions with totally geodesic fibers

Suppose $F\to M\stackrel{\pi}{\to} B$ is a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibers, all manifolds compact. In general, unless $M=B\times F$ is a Riemannian product, the …

Holonomy Groups and the Hopf Fibration

I am trying to understand holonomy groups at the moment and am focusing on the example of the Hopf fibration $SU_2 \to S^2$. Since $S^2$ is path connected we can talk about the hol …

Are there Ricci-flat riemannian manifolds with generic holonomy?

This may well be an open problem, I'm not sure. In Berger's classification (refined by Simons, Alekseevsky, Bryant,...) of the holonomy representations of irreducible non-symmetri …
