An invariant of nonpositively curved contact manifolds

Thilo Kuessner (2011)

Open Mathematics

We define an invariant of contact structures and foliations (on Riemannian manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature) which is upper semi-continuous with respect to deformations and thus gives an obstruction to the topology of foliations which can be approximated by isotopies of a given contact structure.

An Osserman-type condition on g.f.f-manifolds with Lorentz metric

Letizia Brunetti (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

A condition of Osserman type, called the φ-null Osserman condition, is introduced and studied in the context of Lorentz globally framed f-manifolds. An explicit example shows the naturality of this condition in the setting of Lorentz 𝓢-manifolds. We prove that a Lorentz 𝓢-manifold with constant φ-sectional curvature is φ-null Osserman, extending a well-known result in the case of Lorentz Sasaki space forms. Then we state a characterization of a particular class of φ-null Osserman 𝓢-manifolds....
