It is proved that the normal bundle of a distribution on a riemannian manifold admits a conformal curvature if and only if is a conformal foliation. Then is conformally flat if and only if vanishes. Also, the Pontrjagin classes of can be expressed in terms of .
We study conformally flat Lorentzian three-manifolds which are either semi-symmetric or pseudo-symmetric. Their complete classification is obtained under hypotheses of local homogeneity and curvature homogeneity. Moreover, examples which are not curvature homogeneous are described.
We give the complete classification of conformally flat pseudo-symmetric spaces of constant type.
We obtain the complete classification of conformally flat semi-symmetric spaces.
The paper gives an account of the recent development in 3-dimensional contact geometry. The central result of the paper states that there exists a unique tight contact structure on . Together with the earlier classification of overtwisted contact structures on 3-manifolds this result completes the classification of contact structures on .
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...
In this paper we give first a classification of contact Riemannian manifolds with harmonic curvature tensor under the condition that the characteristic vector field belongs to the -nullity distribution. Next it is shown that the dimension of the -nullity distribution is equal to one and therefore is spanned by the characteristic vector field .
