In this article, we describe various geometries on Riemannian manifolds via a unified approach using normed division algebras and vector cross products. They include K¨ahler geometry, Calabi-Yau geometry, hyperk¨ahler geometry, G2-geometry and geometry of Riemannian symmetric spaces.

In view of such problems as lacking interaction between figures and text and difficulty in simultaneous positioning of explanation with figures in chinese geometry exercise solution, a Win32 C++ voice lecturing tool integrated with HTML5 dynamic geometry software is designed to realize free control of lecturing progress, random skipping through double-click, simultaneous interaction and highlighting of figure and text, and automatic synchronized reading. On the basis of JavaScript regular expression, the semantic comprehension of geometry exercise text is realized and the production rule set of automatic plotting is designed. During voice synthesising line by line, the mathematic language undergoes normalization processing and figure highlighting information extraction. The study can shed some light on the GeoGebra integrated development and semantic comprehension-based automatic plotting application, and it can be applied to innovative geometry teaching and knowledge base structuring fields.

New chiral boundary conditions are found for quantum gravity with matter on AdS3. The associated asymptotic symmetry group is generated by a single right-moving U(1) Kac-Moody-Virasoro algebra with c_R = 3l/2G. The Kac-Moody zero mode generates global left-moving translations and equals, for a BTZ black hole, the sum of the total mass and spin. The level is positive about the global vacuum and negative in the black hole sector, corresponding to ergosphere formation. Realizations arising in Chern-Simons gravity and string theory are analyzed. The new boundary conditions are shown to naturally arise for warped AdS3 in the limit that the warp parameter is taken to zero.
