Spin (9) and almost complex structures on 16-dimensional manifolds

M Parton, P Piccinni - Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry, 2012 - Springer
Abstract For a Spin (9)-structure on a Riemannian manifold M 16 we write explicitly the
matrix ψ of its Kähler 2-forms and the canonical 8-form Φ Spin (9). We then prove that Φ …

Spin (9) geometry of the octonionic Hopf fibration

L Ornea, M Parton, P Piccinni, V Vuletescu - Transformation Groups, 2013 - Springer
We deal with Riemannian properties of the octonionic Hopf fibration S 15→ S 8, in terms of
the structure given by its symmetry group Spin (9). In particular, we show that any vertical …

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 …

On uniqueness and existence of conformally compact einstein metrics with homogeneous conformal infinity

G Li - arXiv preprint arXiv:1712.06215, 2017 - arxiv.org
In this paper we show that for a generalized Berger metric $\hat {g} $ on $ S^ 3$ close to the
round metric, the conformally compact Einstein (CCE) manifold $(M, g) $ with $(S^ 3,[\hat …

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 …
