On the cohomology of some exceptional symmetric spaces

P Piccinni - Special metrics and group actions in geometry, 2017 - Springer
This is a survey on the construction of a canonical or “octonionic Kähler” 8-form,
representing one of the generators of the cohomology of the four Cayley-Rosenfeld …

The role of spin (9) in octonionic geometry

M Parton, P Piccinni - Axioms, 2018 - mdpi.com
Starting from the 2001 Thomas Friedrich's work on Spin (9), we review some interactions
between Spin (9) and geometries related to octonions. Several topics are discussed in this …

Local geometry of even Clifford structures on conformal manifolds

C Hadfield, A Moroianu - Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry, 2018 - Springer
We introduce the concept of a Clifford–Weyl structure on a conformal manifold, which
consists of an even Clifford structure parallel with respect to the tensor product of a metric …

Parallelizations on products of spheres and octonionic geometry

M Parton, P Piccinni - Complex Manifolds, 2019 - degruyter.com
A classical theoremof Kervaire states that products of spheres are parallelizable if and only if
at least one of the factors has odd dimension. Two explicit parallelizations on S m× S 2 h− 1 …

An even Clifford diamond

G Arizmendi, R Herrera, P Piccinni - Annals of Global Analysis and …, 2020 - Springer
We present a diamond shaped diagram for even Clifford manifolds similar to the quaternion-
Kähler diamond studied by Ch. Boyer and K. Galicki. We define two spaces SS and UU …

Generalized almost even-Clifford manifolds and their twistor spaces

LF Hernández-Moguel, R Herrera - Complex Manifolds, 2021 - degruyter.com
Motivated by the recent interest in even-Clifford structures and in generalized complex and
quaternionic geometries, we introduce the notion of generalized almost even-Clifford …

Clifford systems, Clifford structures, and their canonical differential forms

KBM Boydon, P Piccinni - Abhandlungen aus dem Mathematischen …, 2021 - Springer
A comparison among different constructions in H^ 2 ≅ R^ 8 H 2≅ R 8 of the quaternionic 4-
form Φ _ Sp (2) Sp (1) Φ Sp (2) Sp (1) and of the Cayley calibration Φ _ Spin (7) Φ Spin (7) …

Spinorially Twisted Spin Structures. II: Twisted Pure Spinors, Special Riemannian Holonomy and Clifford Monopoles

R Herrera, N Santana - SIGMA. Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry …, 2019 - emis.de
We introduce a notion of twisted pure spinor in order to characterize, in a unified way, all the
special Riemannian holonomy groups just as a classical pure spinor characterizes the …
