Abstract

This paper introduces a new class of geometric structures in almost contact metric geometry, which we call locally conformal almost generalized ff-cosymplectic manifolds. These are almost contact metric structures (ϕ,ξ,η,g)(\phi, \xi, \eta, g) equipped with a closed Lee form ω\omega and a smooth function ff satisfying dη=ωη,    dΦ=2fηΦ+2ωΦ, d\eta = \omega \wedge \eta, \;\; d\Phi = 2f\eta \wedge \Phi + 2\omega \wedge \Phi, where Φ(,)=g(,ϕ)\Phi(\cdot, \cdot) = g(\cdot, \phi \cdot) is the second fundamental form. We derive integrability conditions and prove a dimensional dichotomy: in dimension 33, ω\omega may admit transverse components, while in higher dimensions it must be proportional to η\eta. This rigidity, which contrasts with even-dimensional conformal symplectic geometry, is established and illustrated by explicit examples in dimensions 33 and 55. The framework generalizes and unifies prior results on locally conformal almost cosymplectic and almost ff-cosymplectic structures.
