Paracontact metric manifolds without a contact metric counterpart

Differential Geometry 2015-03-25 v3

Abstract

We study non-paraSasakian paracontact metric (κ,μ)(\kappa,\mu)-spaces with κ=1\kappa=-1 (equivalent to h2=0h^2=0 but h0h\neq0). These manifolds, which do not have a contact geometry counterpart, will be classified locally in terms of the rank of hh. We will also give explicit examples of every possible constant rank of hh.
