Pseudoholomorphic strips in symplectisations I : asymptotic behavior
In this paper we classify pseudosymmetric and Ricci-pseudosymmetric -contact metric manifolds in the sense of Deszcz. Next we characterize Weyl-pseudosymmetric -contact metric manifolds.
The conformal infinity of a quaternionic-Kähler metric on a -manifold with boundary is a codimension distribution on the boundary called quaternionic contact. In dimensions greater than , a quaternionic contact structure is always the conformal infinity of a quaternionic-Kähler metric. On the contrary, in dimension , we prove a criterion for quaternionic contact structures to be the conformal infinity of a quaternionic-Kähler metric. This allows us to find the quaternionic-contact structures...
We define a procedure of reduction of locally conformal symplectic structures. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for this reduction to hold in terms of a special kind of de Rham cohomology class (tangent to the characteristic foliation) of the Lee form.
We classify Hopf cylinders with proper mean curvature vector field in Sasakian 3-manifolds with respect to the Tanaka-Webster connection.
We show that the Gerstenhaber algebra of the 1-jet Lie algebroid of a Jacobi manifold has a canonical exact generator, and discuss duality between its homology and the Lie algebroid cohomology. We also give new examples of Lie bialgebroids over Poisson manifolds.
We define an integer-valued non-degenerate bi-invariant metric (the discriminant metric) on the universal cover of the identity component of the contactomorphism group of any contact manifold. This metric has a very simple geometric definition, based on the notion of discriminant points of contactomorphisms. Using generating functions we prove that the discriminant metric is unbounded for the standard contact structures on and . On the other hand we also show by elementary arguments that the...
The aim of this article is to show that systems of linear partial differential equations on filtered manifolds, which are of weighted finite type, can be canonically rewritten as first order systems of a certain type. This leads immediately to obstructions to the existence of solutions. Moreover, we will deduce that the solution space of such equations is always finite dimensional.
