In a nonflat complex space form (namely, a complex projective space or a complex hyperbolic space), real hypersurfaces admit an almost contact metric structure induced from the ambient space. As a matter of course, many geometers have investigated real hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form from the viewpoint of almost contact metric geometry. On the other hand, it is known that the tensor field
The space of the torsion (0,3)-tensors of the linear connections on almost contact manifolds with B-metric is decomposed in 15 orthogonal and invariant subspaces with respect to the action of the structure group. Three known connections, preserving the structure, are characterized regarding this classification.
In this paper we study -recurrence -curvature tensor in-contact metric manifolds.
We consider almost hyper-Hermitian structures on principal fibre bundles with one-dimensional fiber over manifolds with almost contact 3-structure and study relations between the respective structures on the total space and the base. This construction suggests the definition of a new class of almost contact 3-structure, which we called trans-Sasakian, closely connected with locally conformal quaternionic Kähler manifolds. Finally we give a family of examples of hypercomplex manifolds which are not...
Recentemente, B.-Y. Chen ha introdotto una nuova serie di invarianti riemanniani per ogni varietà riemanniana. Ha anche ottenuto disuguaglianze strette per questi invarianti per sottovarietà di forme spaziali reali e complesse in funzione della loro curvatura media. Nel presente lavoro proviamo analoghe stime per gli invarianti per sottovarietà -totalmente reali e di contatto di una forma spaziale di Sasaki .
We study certain contact metrics satisfying the Miao-Tam critical condition. First, we prove that a complete K-contact metric satisfying the Miao-Tam critical condition is isometric to the unit sphere . Next, we study (κ,μ)-contact metrics satisfying the Miao-Tam critical condition.
In this paper three dimensional real hypersurfaces in non-flat complex space forms whose k-th Cho operator with respect to the structure vector field ξ commutes with the structure Jacobi operator are classified. Furthermore, it is proved that the only three dimensional real hypersurfaces in non-flat complex space forms, whose k-th Cho operator with respect to any vector field X orthogonal to structure vector field commutes with the structure Jacobi operator, are the ruled ones. Finally, results...
It is well known that Riemannian submersions are of interest in physics, owing to their applications in the Yang-Mills theory, Kaluza-Klein theory, supergravity and superstring theories. In this paper we give a survey of harmonic maps and Riemannian submersions between manifolds equipped with certain geometrical structures such as almost Hermitian structures, contact structures, f-structures and quaternionic structures. We also present some new results concerning holomorphic maps and semi-Riemannian...
A necessary and sufficient condition for the Reeb vector field of a three dimensional non-Kenmotsu almost Kenmotsu manifold to be minimal is obtained. Using this result, we obtain some classifications of some types of -almost Kenmotsu manifolds. Also, we give some characterizations of the minimality of the Reeb vector fields of -almost Kenmotsu manifolds. In addition, we prove that the Reeb vector field of an almost Kenmotsu manifold with conformal Reeb foliation is minimal.
In our previous paper, almost cosymplectic (κ, μ, ν)-spaces were defined as the almost cosymplectic manifolds whose structure tensor fields satisfy a certain special curvature condition. Amongst other results, it was proved there that any almost cosymplectic (κ, μ, ν)-space can be -homothetically deformed to an almost cosymplectic −1, μ′, 0)-space. In the present paper, a complete local description of almost cosymplectic (−1, μ, 0)-speces is established: “models” of such spaces are constructed,...
An almost cosymplectic (κ,μ,ν)-space is by definition an almost cosymplectic manifold whose structure tensor fields φ, ξ, η, g satisfy a certain special curvature condition (see formula (eq1b)). This condition is invariant with respect to the so-called -homothetic transformations of almost cosymplectic structures. For such manifolds, the tensor fields φ, h (), A ( = -∇ξ) fulfill a certain system of differential equations. It is proved that the leaves of the canonical foliation of an almost cosymplectic...
