2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 53C15, 53C42.In this paper, we research some fundamental properties of contact CR-Submanifolds of a Kenmotsu manifold. We show that the anti-invariant distribution is always integrable and give a necessary and sufficient condition for the invariant distribution to be integrable. After then, properties of the induced structures on submanifold by almost contact metric structure on the ambient manifold are categorized. Finally, we give some results for contact...

The purpose of this paper is to study contact CR-submanifolds with nonvanishing parallel mean curvature vector immersed in a Sasakian space form. In §1 we state general formulas on contact CR-submanifolds of a Sasakian manifold, especially those of a Sasakian space form. §2 is devoted to the study of contact CR-submanifolds with nonvanishing parallel mean curvature vector and parallel f-structure in the normal bundle immersed in a Sasakian space form. Moreover, we suppose that the second fundamental...

For every product preserving bundle functor $T^{\mu }$ on fibered manifolds, we describe the underlying functor of any order $(r,s,q),s\ge r\le q$. We define the bundle $K_{k,l}^{r,s,q}Y$ of $(k,l)$-dimensional contact elements of the order $(r,s,q)$ on a fibered manifold $Y$ and we characterize its elements geometrically. Then we study the bundle of general contact elements of type $\mu$. We also determine all natural transformations of $K_{k,l}^{r,s,q}Y$ into itself and of $T\left(K_{k,l}^{r,s,q}Y\right)$ into itself and we find all natural operators lifting projectable vector fields and horizontal one-forms...

We study the geometry of multidimensional scalar $2^{nd}$ order PDEs (i.e. PDEs with $n$ independent variables), viewed as hypersurfaces $ℰ$ in the Lagrangian Grassmann bundle $M^{\left(1\right)}$ over a $(2n+1)$-dimensional contact manifold $(M,𝒞)$. We develop the theory of characteristics of $ℰ$ in terms of contact geometry and of the geometry of Lagrangian Grassmannian and study their relationship with intermediate integrals of $ℰ$. After specializing such results to general Monge-Ampère equations (MAEs), we focus our attention to MAEs of...

For the first time in dimension 9, the Goursat distributions are not locally smoothly classified by their small growth vector at a point. As shown in [M1], in dimension 9 of the underlying manifold 93 different local behaviours are possible and four irregular pairs of them have coinciding small growth vectors. In the present paper we distinguish geometrically objects in three of those pairs. Smooth functions in three variables - contact hamiltonians in the terminology of Arnold, [A] - help to do...

Starting from the work of Bhupal we extend to the contact case the Viterbo capacity and Traynor’s construction of symplectic homology. As an application we get a new proof of the Non-Squeezing Theorem of Eliashberg, Kim and Polterovich.

In this paper we give first a classification of contact Riemannian manifolds with harmonic curvature tensor under the condition that the characteristic vector field $\xi$ belongs to the $(k,\mu )$-nullity distribution. Next it is shown that the dimension of the $(k,\mu )$-nullity distribution is equal to one and therefore is spanned by the characteristic vector field $\xi$.

We study contact normal submanifolds and contact generic normal in Kenmotsu manifolds and in Kenmotsu space forms. Submanifolds mentioned above with certain conditions in forms space Kenmotsu are shown that they CR-manifolds, spaces of constant curvature, locally symmetric and Einsteinnian. Also, the non-existence of totally umbilical submanifolds in a Kenmotsu space form -1 is proven under a certain condition.

Quantization together with quantum dynamics can be simultaneously formulated as the problem of finding an appropriate flat connection on a Hilbert bundle over a contact manifold. Contact geometry treats time, generalized positions and momenta as points on an underlying phase-spacetime and reduces classical mechanics to contact topology. Contact quantization describes quantum dynamics in terms of parallel transport for a flat connection; the ultimate goal being to also handle quantum systems in terms...

We prove a structure theorem for closed, orientable 5-manifolds $M$ with fundamental group ${\pi }_1\left(M\right)={\mathbb{Z}}_2$ and second Stiefel-Whitney class equal to zero on $H_2\left(M\right)$. This structure theorem is then used to construct contact structures on such manifolds by applying contact surgery to fake projective spaces and certain ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$-quotients of $S^2\times S^3$.
