Abstract

In the paper, we first study more general models, where FF has constant rank and is based on weak metric structures (introduced by the first author and R. Wolak), which generalize almost complex and almost contact metric ff-contact structures. We consider generalized metric connections (i.e., linear connections preserving GG) with totally skew-symmetric torsion (0,3)-tensor. For rank(F)=dimM(F)=\dim M and non-conformal tensor A2A^2, where AA is a skew-symmetric (1,1)-tensor adjoint to FF, we apply weak almost Hermitian structures to fundamental results (by the second author and S. Ivanov) on generalized Riemannian manifolds and prove that the manifold is a weighted product of several nearly K\"ahler manifolds corresponding to eigen-distributions of A2A^2. For rank(F)<dimM(F)<\dim M we apply weak ff-structures and obtain splitting results for generalized Riemannian manifolds.
